The slave kneels in reverence temple in Karnak's hollowed halls. A prayers silent whisper echo's against stone walls. Rituals divine figure, a golden idle lies before honor's altar Mother earth's first born child, she whom is known as Isis. Deities winged goddess with wings extended across heaven. Embracing upper and lower Egypt beneath her ivory feathers. The giver of life, magic and wisdom. Upon a gilded throne she sits amongst the agust royal's, Nobility's crowns bow in highest respects To immortals grand mistress of fertility. The Nile's waters separate as her highness steps Forth to welcome the dawns first rays of light. Almighty Osiris places his hand in hers uniting as one. The mortal world is renewed again in loves faithful devotion. Cast down the shadow of jealousy, Set's envious hatred kills beloved's Most sacred. Tears of sorrows shed at deaths trembling hand. The Nile waters rise, flowing crimson red, breeching sandy barriers. In cautious destructive reasoning she is inconsolable, overwhelming the lands, With Wrath's devastation. In tidal motions emotional earthquake, creations raw power restraints give way. Piece by piece gather the maid, thus scattered limbs appendages lain at flames Eternal sacrificial fire, a torch burns within the darkness. The four winds blow raven tresses to and fro and a new magic is born unto the World of men, loves ultimate truth it shall conquer all. Softly she speaks his name, gently she reaches out, Restorations goddess inhales, Exhales and Osiris once again places his hand into hers. Living again two lovers renewed in sacred vows ceremony. Elders elite ascend towards their astral plain beyond the gates of infinity. Glittering scepter shinning in brilliance sunlight given by Ra himself. In the westward kingdom they rule side by side united in noble union. Dynasty's Egyptian divinities spirits commanding mutually In harmony's peaceful everlasting bliss.
