"The Pharaoh Sails To Orion"

"Get away from me!
Take heed to thyself and see my face
no more!
for in the day Thou see my face
Thou shalt die!"
- Exodus 10:28

A constellation of divine architecture
built on Earth
A holy harbour - Orion
Nautical ascension to the firmament

Ship-shaped barrows open my heart
to the wisdom of this land
Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a
fiendish sandman

The Unicorn arrives with the
westwind to dream His funeral
"Thou art born for Horus dwells in
Thee"

Slumbering with the ebb and the flow
of this foaming tomb
"Thou art born for Seteh dwells in
Thee"

Reveal your face to me and guide me
though the Stygian fields
Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams
to serve Your will

Sailing on the distant seas from
darkness to deliverance
Tales like the ocean written to the
Draco's glance

Ruling with the scythe of death you
tear out philosophies apart
An ancient starwalk to merge into the
stars

"Open thy veins for my venom
Kiss the cobras with thy twisted
tongue
So shalt thou join the empyrean
circus
Where beggars mourn and seraphs
dance
In this twilight cathedral
Shall I wed thee,
O Bride of the Netherworld"

Sailing on the distant seas...

Join my soul the Hunter in the sky
