lyrics

The gods of the eighth cavern of the Netherworld whose shapes are mysterious, who breathe the air.

The gods who are in their shrines which are about the Abyss. May they let N drink. A bowl will be offered to them on earth by N; may his soul live and may his corpse be intact in the realm of the dead.

The gods who are in the suite of Osiris. May they grant that N be at rest with his mummy. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, in the presence of the Great God who dwells in his bark.

He who stands up. May he permit N to worship Re when he rises. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N; he shall be in charge of the braziers.

He who is hidden. May he make N strong in the hall of Geb. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who knows the secrets of the Lords of the Netherworld.

He who is mysterious. May he permit N's corpse to be strong and intact on earth and in the realm of the dead. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, being a possessor of movement in the realm of the dead and in Rosetjau.

He who is concealed. May he give bread and beer to N with you in the House of Osiris. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who enters into the secrets of the Lords of the Netherworld.

The mysterious one of Osiris. May he cause N to be a possessor of movement in the sacred place. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who becomes the owner of a throne in the realm of the dead.

Sherem. He shall not let evil draw near to N in the realm of the dead. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, a soul who hears the words of the gods.

The Usher. May he permit N to see Re when he rises and sets. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N. May his members live and his body be hale for ever.

The Dark One. May he make N to be a spirit on earth and to be strong in the West. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, whose legs have power as a possessor of a throne in the West.

The Eyeless One. May he permit N to be among those who are in charge of braziers. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who belongs to the Standing One who is in the Netherworld.

The Embalmers. May they permit N to be in the presence of the Great God, Lord of the West. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who becomes a possessor of arms and one who is stouthearted in the realm of the dead.

The Males whose arms are hidden. May they permit N to be with them for ever in the realm of the dead. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who will attain to the throne of Osiris.

The Females whose arms are hidden. May they grant that N be hale and that his offerings endure in his presence. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N; he is the two-horned one who hears the words of the gods.

He whose body is hidden. May he grant to N righteousness with Re who is in his Ennead. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, as the possessor of a phallus who takes women for ever.

The souls who go forth. May they judge the speech of N among the gods who are with them. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N among the living, the lords of eternity.

Those who belong to ... May they grant that N have power through his offerings on eath like all the gods. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who benefits from provisions in the realm of the dead.

Those who receive. May they permit N to enter into all the secret places of the Netherworld. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who benefits from provisions in the realm of the dead.

The female inert ones. May they grant that N be with the Great God as the possessor of a phallus. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, so that he who is in the secret place in darkness may have light.

Osiris-Anubis. May he grant that N be a possessor of a throne in the Sacred Land. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who passes the threshold of the portal of Osiris.
