Spell 126 Lyrics


O you four baboons who sit in the bow of the Bark of Re, who raise up truth to the Lord of All, who judge poor and rich, who propitiate the gods with the breath of your mouths, who give god's-offerings to the gods and invocation-offerings to the spirits, who live on truth and gulp down truth, whose hearts have no lies, who detest falsehood: expel my evil, grip hold of my falsehood, and I will have no guilt in respect of you. Grant that I may open up the tomb, that I may enter into Rosetjau, and that I may pass by the secret portals of the West. There shall be given to me a shens-cake, a jug of beer and a persen-loaf, just like those spirits who go in and out in Rosetjau.

THE BABOONS REPLY: Come, so that we may expel your evil and grip hold of your falsehood so that the dread of you may be on earth, and dispel the evil which was on you on earth. Enter into Rosetjau, pass by the secret portals of the West, and there shall be given to you a shens-cake, a jug of beer, and a persen-loaf, and you shall go in and out at your desire, just like those favoured spirits who are summoned daily into the horizon.
