Annihilation of the Wicked - Nile

Annihilation of the Wicked - Nile

The dominion of Seker 
Barren desert of eternal night 
Shunned by Ra 
Behind the gate 
Aha-Neteru, the wastelands of Seker 

Eldest lord of impenetrable blackness 
Death god of Memphis 
He of the darkness and decay of the tomb 
He of Rosetau, the mouth of the passage to the underworld 

Closely guarded by terrible serpents 
Who careth not for his own cult of worshippers 

Seker, ancient and dead 
Primeval master of the world below 
Remaineth unwitnessed, unseen 
Hidden in his secret chamber 
His primitive graven image 
Like as a hawk-headed man 
Shrouded and swathed in tomb wrappings 
Standing between a pair of wings 
Which issue forth from the back of a monstrous serpent 
Having two heads 
Having two necks 
And whose tail terminates in a human skull 

In thick darkness amid violent tempests of unendurable cacophony 
His serpents make offerings 
Unto his image and live upon their own fire 
His servants, hideous reptiles of terrifying aspect 
Whose work is nothing less than the annihilation of the wicked 
Consume the bodies of the damned 
By flames of liquid fire they emit from their mouths 
And the goddess Quetet Tent which liveth on the blood of the dead 

On their blocks, they cut into pieces the flesh of the dead 
Singing hymns of torture and mutilation 
To their master 

Accompanied by the wailings and anguish of the damned 
They wreak destruction upon the wicked 
Those who hath not recited the formula 
Nor made the sacrifices 
Or who know not the words of power
