Hamunaptra Lyrics
Approaching the final rays
Open the book of the dead
You'll see the truth
Shining in the sarcophagus of thy lord
Imothep
Bringer of disasters
I invoke the beast
That sleeps in the depth of tombs
Hamunaptra
The sacrifice is yours
Kingdom of death
I scream the incantations
I am the force that slept
Three thousand years in the darkness
And spilled the blood of the impure
I am the force that saw
Your decadence haunting your life
Till the poisoned blood was shed
The sacrifice is now
I open her chest and read the incantations
Anubis, god of all gods
Art thou hearing me
Wake the dead from sleep
Open the book of the dead
You'll see the truth
Shining in the sarcophagus of thy lord
Imothep
Bringer of disasters
I invoke the beast
That sleeps in the depth of tombs
The sacrifice is yours
Kingdom of death
I scream the incantations
Three thousand years in the darkness
And spilled the blood of the impure
I am the force that saw
Your decadence haunting your life
Till the poisoned blood was shed
I open her chest and read the incantations
Anubis, god of all gods
Art thou hearing me
Wake the dead from sleep

'In actual history, a city called Hamunaptra (City of the Dead Man) was found in India in the 1850s when British engineers, trying to build a railroad, pillaged the area for bricks. In the 1920s, archaeologists began serious excavations. They found at the site a lost civilization occupying an area greater than that of Pakistan. It was a complex, literate, urbanized, centrally located society. Raw materials located in the area indicated that the civilization had long-distance trade with Mesopotamia. The civilization ended between 1900 and 1700 BC, which archaeologists accredit to a new group of horse-riding invaders. However, there is no evidence to prove any hypothesis of why the civilization might have become extinct.'
