lyrics

The gods of the eleventh cavern, ... hidden, secret.

The Python. May she grant that N be hale before the Great God who is in the Netherworld. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who shall come into being as Khepri in the West.

The Soul of the West. May he grant invocation-offerings of bread and beer, oxen and fowl to N on earth and in the realm of the dead. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, a possessor of a throne whose heart is content on the mountain of the realm of the dead.

The Souls of Earth. May they grant triumph to N over his enemies in sky and earth. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who keeps silence regarding all that he has seen.

Those who make offerings. May they grant that N be like the crew (of the solar bark) in the sky. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N; may he go in by the secret portal.

The Nine Gods who rule the West. May they permit N to go in by the great secret portal of Osiris. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who is dominant over the Lords of the Netherworld.

The Nine Gods who are in the suite of Osiris. May they grant that N have power over his enemies. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N; may he become a worthy soul from day to day.

Iqeh. May he grant that N be in the presence of Re and that he may cross the sky for ever. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, for he is the following of Him who dwells in the Place of Embalmment, Lord of the Sacred Land.

The Embalmer of Osiris. May he grant that N's sould shall live; he shall not die again for ever. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N; mourning shall be decreed for him and for his god.

The Nine Watchers. May they grant wakefuleness to N; he shall never be destroyed. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who is vindicated before Osiris, Lord of the Faiyum.

The Nine Mourners. May they grant mourning for N like what was done for Osiris. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N when his soul ascends among the spirits.

He whom Re summoned. May he summon N to Re and his Ennead. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N whose soul comes into the secret place and goes up from the earth.

Iqen. May he drive away all evil from N for ever. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, who comes in peace and is vindicated.

Those who are with Her whose head is red. May they permit N to go in and out and to stride forward like the Lords of the Netherworld. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N when he goes in and out of the portal of the Netherworld.

She whose head is red. May she grant that N have power over the waters. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N as one who strides freely up the great stairway.

The Coiled Serpent. May she grant that N be holy in the Netherworld for ever. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, as a worthy soul who is in his cavern.

Those who are with the Coiled Serpent. May they permit N to stride forward freely in the sacred place. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, and he shall be in the presence of the Followers of Horus.

The Nine Gods who hide Osiris. May they grant that N dwell in the place which he desires. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, and he shall be among the Lords of Righteousness.

The Destroyer. May he clear N's vision that he may see the Sunshine-god. A bowl is offered to them on earth by N, so that he may be in the following of the serpent-guardian of the West.
