Khensu Neter Hetef.
Who Possesseth Absolute Dominion over the Evil Spirits that Infest the Earth and Sky.
He of the Silence of the Moon.

He that Must Forever Wax and Wane.
Thou Art in Union with Thoth.
The Excellent Tehuti of Truth and Time.
Keeper of the Lunar Cycle.
Whose Hands are Able.
Whose Tongue is Mighty in Speech.
Author of the Works of Knowledge.
Writer of the Ancient Wisdom.
Master of the Words of Power.
Obeisance before giving breath to the Inert One
In the presence of the Crescent-Shaped Horns.
Lord of the Two Horns.
God of the Full Moon.
Aah Tehuti.
As it Was for Thoth So Shall it Be for Me.
As it Was for Thoth So Shall it Be for Me.
As it Was for Thoth So Shall it Be for Me.
As it Was for Thoth So Shall it Be for Me.
I am He Who Sendeth Forth Terror into the Domain of Rain and Thunder.
I have Made My Knife to Flourish along with the Knife Which is in the Hand of Thoth.
Lord of the Two Horns,
God of the Full Moon.
I am He Who Calleth Down Curses and Commandeth the Elements unto Darkness.
I Hath Uttered the Hidden Words.
Even unto the Divine Words which Art Written in the Book of Thoth.
Written in the Book of Thoth.
Who Possesseth Absolute Dominion over the Evil Spirits that Infest the Earth and Sky.

Another death metal classic in my opinion, but the ridiculous title keeps it from becoming well known in DM circles.
Yet another awesome song from one of the best death metal bands. Although, Ddadutta I disagree that it's the title's fault. It could just be shortened to "Chapter of Obeisance" or something.
Karl Sanders:- This song combines several chapters found within the deep recesses of the Egyptian "Book of the Dead". The chapter titles are so ridiculously long that to fully quote them here would be out of the question.
The chapters coincide because they each deal with the necessary formulae and recitations and ritual actions needed to breathe new life into the deceased. The powers of two distinct Egyptian gods of the Moon, Thoth and Khensu, are invoked with the common stylized formulae that the god is first venerated and their attributes and mythical deeds listed ad nauseam, followed usually by phrases and words of power that give voice to the entreaty: "As it was for the god -----, so shall it be for me."
Insane riff! I love this song, one of niles best!
