Imhotep

The path leads through the desert sands
For the high priest in all the land.
On his way to Anubis' throne
For immortalization
    Among the bones.

High Priest Imhotep awaits death
Hiding out of the reach of Set.
Tomes of greatness of what he did
In the afterlife he will fly
    Above pyramids.

    All hail the son of Ptah
    How heavy is his heart?
    Will his feather fall
    Into the mouth of Ammit?

The god-priest brought with him divines
For all people to follow signs.
Grant audience with Nile God
Khnum granting miracles
    With magic rods

Imhotep with his magic cures
Exist on Earth as one so pure.
Standing proudly before God Ra
The hawk guards him so swiftly
    With hunter's cry.

    Osiris looks on
    How is he set to judge?
    Will he show mercy
    For a humble god of man?

At last He Who Comes In Peace
Is with peace in sands of the east.
His resting place, his missing tomb
Is mystery steeped in legend
    Kept in the gloom.

His creations reach for the sky
Equal with the sight Ra's eye.
He ascended to beat of drums
Man below sing his praise
    Throughout his kingdom.
