"The Pharaoh Sails To Orion" lyrics

"The Pharaoh Sails To Orion"

"Get away from me!
Take heed to thyself and see my face no more!
For in the day thou see my face
Thou shalt die!"

A constellation of divine
Architecture built on Earth
A holy harbour, Orion
Nautical ascension to the firmament
Ship-shaped barrows open my heart
To the wisdom of this land
Sailing with the Serpent Chimera
Of a fiendish sandman

The Unicorn arrives
With the west wind to dream His funeral
Thou art born for Horus
For Horus dwells in thee"
Slumbering with the ebb and the flow
Of this foaming tomb
"Thou art born for Seteh
For Seteh dwells in thee"

Reveal your face to me
And guide me through the Stygian fields
Enthrall my soul to Sepedet's beams
To serve your will

Sailing on the distant seas
From darkness to deliverance
Tales like the ocean
Written to the Draco's glance
Ruling with the scythe of death
You tear our philosophies apart
An ancient starwalk
To merge into the stars

"Open thy veins for my venom
Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue
So shalt thou join the empyrean circus
Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance
In this twilight cathedral
Shall I wed thee o Bride of the Netherworld"

Sailing on the distant seas
From darkness to deliverance
Tales like the ocean
Written to the Draco's glance
Ruling with the scythe of death
You tear our philosophies apart
An ancient
Starwalk

Join my soul
The Hunter in the sky
