Cursing Akhenaten Lyrics
Awaken, ruinous fiend of early generations.
Your rotting corpse is restored.
Straighten your limbs, brush off the dust,
withered bandages restrain you no more.
Severed heads accent the gates,
bones emerge from the sands, proof of your reign remains.
I, your Liege, now command your rule again.
The sun burns through the skin, boiling vital organs within.
But the god's can't destroy my cursed, blackened heart.
Appeasing the thirst of the damned, mocking the praised ones.
The sand soaks the blood, the blood flows like wine,
send death from above.
Locusts and famine engulfing your race, my savagery knows no end.
At the price of all your lives, I destroy your kind, death by my hand.
Sands blowing across cursed lands will consume the evidence of your ancient existence.
The Earth is now black from the torment I have set upon it.
All shall bow, serve, and praise thy name
Your rotting corpse is restored.
Straighten your limbs, brush off the dust,
withered bandages restrain you no more.
Severed heads accent the gates,
bones emerge from the sands, proof of your reign remains.
I, your Liege, now command your rule again.
The sun burns through the skin, boiling vital organs within.
But the god's can't destroy my cursed, blackened heart.
Appeasing the thirst of the damned, mocking the praised ones.
The sand soaks the blood, the blood flows like wine,
send death from above.
Locusts and famine engulfing your race, my savagery knows no end.
At the price of all your lives, I destroy your kind, death by my hand.
Sands blowing across cursed lands will consume the evidence of your ancient existence.
The Earth is now black from the torment I have set upon it.
All shall bow, serve, and praise thy name

Portraying Akhenaten of being some sort of self aware harbinger of death?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhenaten
It's about the life of Akhenaten. Basically Akhenaten rising from the dead and taking over and what would happen if it were to happen.
Akhenaten wanted to change the Egyptian religion and have there only be one main god, Aten. The people did not accept it and later after his death thought of him as an enemy. Maybe this song is showing how the Egyptians felt about him as a pharaoh.
"mocking the praised ones" could show how Akhenaten believed that the other gods were not important as to Aten.
@iamthenightstars it's not that I believed the other gods weren't important, it's that originally they were meant to be a part of teaching enlightenment, but much like with how modern Christianity is a perversion of its origins, the truth of the original Egyptian gods representing the human soul and its parts was lost, perverted and used for greed, power and control. When I came to realise enlightenment was literally from the light of the sun itself, I abolished all agents of enshroudment. I did not have the priests of amun and the other gods killed, because i did not want...
@iamthenightstars it's not that I believed the other gods weren't important, it's that originally they were meant to be a part of teaching enlightenment, but much like with how modern Christianity is a perversion of its origins, the truth of the original Egyptian gods representing the human soul and its parts was lost, perverted and used for greed, power and control. When I came to realise enlightenment was literally from the light of the sun itself, I abolished all agents of enshroudment. I did not have the priests of amun and the other gods killed, because i did not want to start a new belief based on enlightenment with bloodshed, and I did not want to promote persecuting someone because they believed something different. That would have been incredibly hypocritical since I was trying to teach acceptance and enlightenment, unfortunately I did not understand enshroudment and it's agency completely. Behind the power the priests of amun had was something darker and powerfully influencing. I am the reincarnation of Akhenaten. Of amenhotep IV. I also personally know the reincarnations of Tutankhaten, and Nefertiti. My wife and son from that Lifetime. And again in this lifetime, after removing my curse, I will be raising a school for enlightenment in the name of Aten once more.
The god that Akhenaten believed in was named Aten. This song, to me, seems like Aten is in fact the god and he raises Akhenaten from the dead and destroying the non believers. The lyrics are Aten talking in first person (and maybe perhaps through Akenaten at some points). The name of the song "Cursing Akenaten" can be easily misread. Akenaten is not being "cursed" but is the one "cursing" by bringing plague and famine.
