"The pyramids themselves...
have forgotten the names of their founders." - Thomas Fuller Lyrically,
this obviously has a strong Egyptian feel inspired by the Exodus of Israel.
The over all terror and panic of the divine deconstruction that took place during the Exodus was a very exhilarating topic to create from.
The very core of the Egyptian people was shaken and the land was torn from it's roots.
The name Eclipse of Serpents was chosen because of it's initial appeal to the power of Anubis that,
upon further listening,
becomes more and more satirical.
The song itself was written in a space of two hours with only minor changes made since.] Io!
Shafts of plague and pythoness gift The blackness of Bast hast cometh unto us Heiracosphinx!
Slain By judgement's flaming sword Canst thou see the blood of the Nile?
Iä!
Of all blights!
'Tis our sorry lot To suffer black,
night,
and boils Theban courage and Memphian lust Thou darest stain with blood Lo!
The torment of the snake Scythian blades - Jackal's feet Hail!
The conquest of...
The Uncreated one Open the book of Adapa And behold the coming of plagues Morbid philosopher Behind the curtain of lies Ave!
Thou art greatest of fifty - Ave!
Avenger Ave!
Thou art Greatest of fifty - Ave!
