Album: Pantheion

The light starts to dim, as Ra withholds day
Memphis is in disarray!
A mortal despair, a petrified cold
Blankets the nomes as foretold!
The eyes of the gods, beholding their fear
Illume with expressions austere!
Convicted are all, and worthy are none!
Their heresy must be undone!
Khepri invokes the deceased by his will…
Heeding his call, they obey!
Scarabs come forth from their brittle remains…
Untold in number are they!
Every horizon is tainted in full
The landscapes violently quake!
Pestilence… Swarms!
Death descends on its wings!
Forthwith onlookers wither away
Nothing remains in their wake!
The cries pierce the air, as judgment is served
The wailing and prayers go unheard!
In moments of death, the firstborn are slain
Survivors are cursed and plagued!
The eyes of the gods, beholding their fear
Illume with expressions austere!
Convicted are all, and worthy are none!
Their heresy shall be undone!
Sekhmet ascends from the horrible depths…
Her children emerge from the ground!
Hissing and endless as the sea…
To Sekhmet’s will they are bound!
Terrible creatures ravage the land
Thirsting for human flesh!
With vengeance and disgust for the living there…
The gods look down upon the death and demise of wicked man!
As the final day drew near
And mankind paid for its sins…
Osiris motioned for the end
And time knelled down to him!
Finally mankind became extinct
The Nile ran thick with blood!
Bodies decayed, and scattered throughout
Majestic dawn ensued…
The Pantheion looked down upon their work
And saw that it was good!
