The One who ascended from watery Nu

In original form the self-made Atum

With the initiation and movement of time

Re manifested as king in his rising

He was yesterday (transference to Ausar)

He knows tomorrow (rising in the east)

He is birthed again (from the womb of Nut)

He has prevailed (in the battle within the Duat)

A consecrated temple endures in Ipet-isut

To perpetuate the ritual of flame

The luminous Eye of Heru deters Re's enemies

Under Mau chaotic forces will be slain

For the Wadjet-encoiled disk rising above

A purifying fire below

Preparation and sanctification for burning rejuvenation

A shrine to seek refuge from the underworld's shadow

Incense to the flame for the Lord of the Two Horizons

For He who guards the hallowed Ished Tree

Mau tears and rends at serpentine incursion

For Tehuti and Seshat to advance fatal scribing

Re who radiates like gold in the sky

Emitting blasts of fire from the mouth

He is once again swallowed by Nut

The moment of nightly war has come...

The Other who enveloped Nu's abyss

In creation fought Sun's rise from the mass

With every journey of the bark in the Duat

Apep spears attack on the Sun God

It was darkness (all curses incarnate)

It knows destruction (annul the Pillars of Shu)

It is regenerated (chaos never ceases)

It has arrived (the darkest hour of night)

A sanctum of refuge within Re's naos

A sacred flame to repel chaos

A microcosmical eye of light

Assailed by serpentine night

Geb sieged by Sebau and Nak

Underworld haunted by Apep

The return of Re keeps cosmic order

All will return to Nu's waters

Menkhepera!
