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.
For the high priest in all the land.
On his way to Anubis' throne
For immortalization
