Pharaoh Ahkenaten

Thou oh man, who caused the kingdoms of this world to tremble and shake! With wrath continual stroke against the nations raged. Beneath the rose now entombed, ‘neath starry skies you shall await thy doom. Blade and flame shall guard thy gates. Silently shalt thou await thy resurrected fate. Thou oh man, who caused the kingdoms of this world to tremble and shake! With thy rod wonderfully thou smote throughout the land treading underfoot thy fellow man. Thy pomp now brought down and thy scepter broke. Thou besom of destruction yet no rest shalt thou find! The kings of this earth shall gloriously in state lie, but thou oh man shall not join thyself to them in eternal state. Thou oh man, who caused the kingdoms of this world to tremble and shake! Thy renown once amongst the nations proclaimed now shall to the dust of time remain. Prepare oh man, the earth hath opened itself for thy fate awaits.
