Excerebration through the nostrils
Using an iron hook
With a ritual knife he opened
The left side of my body
He removed my internal organs
Separately he embalmed them
Minus the main one
The heart, reason & instinct
Within seventy days
The rituals protect me
While my inert body
Lies in the 'Per Wabet'
Covered with natron
To deidrate my body
With slime, sawdust & Nile mud
I was filled along with spices
Using linen bandages
One by one were wrapped
My fingers and limbs
With ritual amulets
Beetle over the chest
Protecting the intellect
Remaining almost nothing, it’s true
For the Ka’s reactivation
For the Ka’s reactivation
While my body laid asleep
Text of the Book of the Dead
Placed between my bandages
Wearing a mask of the God Anubis
The priest performed enchantments
We put the perfume of the East
To make your smell perfect
And to follow the smell of God
We bring you the liquids that come from Ra
To make your smell perfect
In the Hall of Judgment
While my body laid asleep
While my body laid asleep
Text of the Book of the Dead
Placed between my bandages
The most important of all
Beetle over the chest
The 'Wedjat' eyes of Horus
The 'Djed' pillars of Osiris
The 'Tyet' knots of Isis
The four sons of Horus
The protective Gods
Of the internal organs

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
