Cursing Akhenaten Lyrics

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.
