Abydos - Opening of the Tomb

Well I can see the golden Falcon of Edfu circling Abydos tonight in the shadow of a blue moon, I can feel the cool, cool desert winds walking the three star path of the Jackal back to Giza again pulling my cape up around me tight I enter the ancient and dark catacombs down, down to your never opened tomb and I recite these words from the Book Of The Dead...the cavern is opened for you in the abyss and in the sunshine you are released; the cavern is opened for Shu and if he comes out may you come out...rise now and take your seat in the bark of Re the great one who rises and shines in the waterway of the lake...so mote it be!
