Nile - Kheftiu Asar Butchiu lyrics

Kheftiu Asar Butchiu

Enemies of Osiris who are to be burned

Let there be fetters on your arms

Let there be shackles on your necks

Let there be chains upon you

Ye shall be hacked to pieces for what ye have done to Osiris

You have put his mysteries behind your backs

You hath dragged the statue of the god

From the secret place

You hath desecrated the hidden things of the great one

You are doomed to stand and receive in your faces

The fire which the serpent Khetti is about to spit at you

Khetti

Great serpent who lieth in undulations

Before the damned

Khetti

Open thy mouth distend thy jaws

Belch forth thy flames against my fathers enemies

Burn up their bodies

Consume their souls

By the fire which issueth from thy mouth

And by the flames which art in thy body

The fire which is in the serpent Khetti

Shall come forth

And blaze against the enemies of Osiris

Whosoever knoweth how to use these words of power

Against the serpent shall be as one

Who doth not enter upon his fiery path
