Necromancy Lyrics


A chamber

With outlet facing Nekhbet to the south

An inquiry for truth

Rouse for me the spirits of the drowned

A necropolis

Receiving whispers of Amenti from the West

At the mouth of my vessel

Gather akhu to consult the dead

Prepare and cleanse with sand from the Great River

Three bricks, seven loaves, lapis kheper for Ausar-Unnefer

Pour the oil while crouched in genuflection

Eyes rubbed with ointment I utter the following invocation:

I gaze upon thy beautiful face, O great one!

Send the celestial messenger I seek!

Bathing in your ecstatic heka, O great god!

Hear and heed this earnest praise to you, high Inpu!

The moon has yet to fill the Udjat

Speak from this vessel of bronze

Rebirth from the intramural spring water

As I invoke you seven times

My keep until mid-lunar-month

At the mercy and fury of the gods

The breezes of the west come into being

As I extract truth from the Duat!

I gaze upon thy beautiful face, O great one!

Send the celestial messenger I seek!

Bathing in your ecstatic heka, O great god!

Hear and heed this earnest praise to you, high Inpu!
