Death of Osiris lyrics

Beneath the land where the Nile carves its path Osiris, giver of life, ancestor of Ra Scornful eyes fall upon the radiant God of life Scheming to shatter to plunge the world into chaos Usurper Betrayer Osiris God of life King of Egypt Osiris God of life Ruler of Maat Entombed by his brother within a leaden grave Though he yearned to seal his fate once and for all Bring the sarcophagus to the river of life Dismembered by ravenous jaws, a body in pieces Disorder Imbalance Osiris God of life King of Egypt Osiris God of life Ruler of Maat Osiris God of afterlife Tears of Isis flood the land Osiris God of afterlife Betrayed by his brother's hand Still in grief Isis embarks on a journey In form of a falcon she crosses the desert Gathering every remnant of his essence Calling out to the netherworld Osiris, beloved one, can you hear me? I am here to bring you back from the dead Our people, our land, they await thy return The sacred rite shall begin Isis, I can here your call Falcon wings gliding in the Sun Across the sands where shadows run Collect the remnants of a king Let the resurrection begin Embalmed in his sleep of death The air grows cold, no warming breath Anubis and Toth's healing power He returns for his final hour Life restored by celestial grace A child conceived in love's embrace No return from the netherworld A rising storm the sands are whirled Ruler of Duat, realm of the dead His heir will rise to end the dread
