lyrics
Judges:
So let it be done!
We are ready to listen.
Remind you, mortal, entering this hall
You're obliged to tell the truth.
Be careful. We won't tolerate lies!
Defendant:
Hail, Usekh-nemmt,
Who comest forth from Anu,
I have not committed sin.
Hail, Hept'khet,
Who comest forth from Khcr-aha,
I have not committed robbery with violence.
Hail, Fenti,
Who comest forth from Khemenu,
I have not stolen.
Hail, Am-khaibit,
Who comest forth from Qemet,
I have not slain men and women.
Judges:
The blood of thousands is on your hands
There is no war without death,
Did not you know?
And what about the one you had slain
To get power and the throne?
Defendant:
By the interests of my land I was guided,
Not by my own
And weren't that you
Who appointed me as king
To do your will on Earth?
And for heaven's sake,
How can I be judged
By the court of the mortals?
Judges:
Enough! The court is the same for everyone
Your iniquities challenge to gods
Feeling the stench of your crimes
Apophis is already waking up
Tremble before his abysmal eyes
You'll be swallowed by his horrible maw
Prepare to meet what is worse than death
Do you feel his breath...so cold?
The law is above everything
No matter who you are
Get ready to pay for your sins
Before the face of Gods
Choir:
The darkest hour is passing
The sun will rise from the Great River
The blue lotus flowers are closing
Nothing has ever happened here
Defendant:
What kind of place is it, full of suffering?
I don't remember myself...why am I here?
The net of fear entangles me...
I had a brother, I don't remember his name...
Oh, these eyes... glowing in different colors
Why do they look in different directions?
Some creepy shadows are surrounding
Don't let them touch me!..
