Permitting The Noble Dead To Descend To The Underworld

Permitting The Noble Dead To Descend To The Underworld - Nile

Hail to ye who art in the sacred desert of the west

I know you and I know your names

Save me from these snakes which are in Rosetjau

Which live on the flesh of men and gulp down their blood

For I know you and I know your names

The first one Osiris

Lord of all mysterious of body gives command

He puts forth breath into those frightened ones

Who art in the midst of the west

What has been decreed for me

Is Lordship over those who exist

I know you and I know your names

May my place in the darkness be opened for me

May a spirit shape be given to me in Rosetjau

Even to the Lord of the gloom

Who dies at the devourer of serpents

His voice is heard but he is unseen

The great God within Busiris

Those amongst the languid ones fear him

Having gone forth unto the shambles of the God

I have gone forth even I the vindicated Osiris

The great ones on earth await me

The scribes on their mats magnify me

I am as Re the eldest of the Gods

I have taken possession of the sky

I have inherited the earth

Who shall take away the sky and earth from me

I know you and I know your names

I know you and I know your names
