Kheftiu Asar Butchiu

(album: In Their Darkened Shrines - 2002)

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
You 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 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 no enter upon his fiery path
