"Duat, Realm of the Dead, God Osiris Reigns"
*entered in the legendary underworld comp
judge me fair, as I did man before me
in the land of temples, land of Horus
your son commands, land of Upper Egypt
pharaoh abandon me not, nor deter
from knowing me, ancestral dynasties
kings' phantoms bow before and serve
render and live of Maat, all lesser deities
transform my soul in twilight throes
that I may ride the rays of shining Ra
through the goddess of the sky
lordess Nut, mother of where the stars reside
with these rites, priests of Anubis pray in prayer
requiem of repose, inspired through dreams divine
recite the papyrus of Ani', the souls journey begins
sacred spells, written hymns, praise so holy shrines
favor and laud my magic words within
you, deity of death, O Osiris may you smile
upon my devotion, with the truth of Maat
Keeper of the Balance, weigh my heart
O Anubis, find and judge me in Duat
that I may continue my journey's trial
of Confession of Sins, sworn to the list
favored forty-two, before the Congress of Gods
O Anubis, take me to Osiris, vindicate my prior life
hear my true voice, weigh my heart and decide
reveal my past, my life righteous, without wicked sin
venerate my soul, your holy of this realm within
guardian and keeper O Osiris, O Lord of the Underworld
magic words to pass, before the seven Arits, of trials
so I may be judged fair and dwell unto the eternal
through your underworld. carry me without beguile
nor tempt my wanting soul, more exempt you behold
I take names from the Book of the Dead, entities of Duat
I desire and seek safe passage, I recite my magic words
I encounter on my journey to the afterlife
protect and guide me through the realm of Duat
guardian and keeper O Osiris, O Lord of the Underworld
guide and direct my path, embolden my step
not to wander alone, nor perish in the jaws
of Ammut, devouress of the dead, she awaits the wicked
wandering souls in tumult, suffer the final death
who awaits hungrily in paroxysm of rage
Ammut, the devourer of hearts unclean
shall the Book of Coming Forth by Day
save my soul, before Ammut consumes me
reveal my truth, judged righteously, so I may accompany
divine O Osiris, unto the afterlife and dwell eternal
twenty-one portals of the House of Osiris I shall see
each I shall pass, onto the Arits, seven in number
I recite from the Book of the Dead, I continue through
this realm of Duat, O Osiris, O Lord of the Underworld
my humble quest of eternal life, I seek my second death
mortal is my khu, unto the immortal gods I know
behold my painted walls within my tomb
wrought of heavy stone, sealed in sands of time
fire flickers, illumined mask of jackal, priest of Anubis
humming chants, prepare my khu and shadow soul
heartbeat drums, murmur secret rites the words
head priest, Temple of Mortuary, summon from scrolls
papyrus of Ani', scribed symbols sacred scarabs
incense burned, holy wisps of smoke, behold
I dedicate my path unto you, O Osiris of the dead
judge me fair, as I did man before me
in the land of temples, land of Horus
your son commands, land of Upper Egypt
pharaoh abandon me not, nor deter
from knowing me, ancestral dynasties
kings' phantoms bow before and serve
render and live of Maat, all lesser deities
