Cemetery Lights - Conspiracy with the Gods Lyrics


“Your gracious charity

O faithful Khonsuemheb

Well-intentioned

But fated for naught

“In this fateful hour

Thine oath nearly filled

Here I bare the truth

“When scales weighed my heart

And found it putrid black

I sought respite from doom

“In death as in life

I bargained with others’ fare

The jaws of Ammit

Would be stayed thus

“My sepulcher ruins

Ravish is my tomb

And I mourn to passers-by

“Their pity bids them forth

To repair my grave

Unknown that they shall die

“These volleys of newly dead

Sacrificed to slake Ammit’s needs

Her hunger is vast

“I submit your life

As a sacrifice

Your cruel reward for godly deeds"
