Beloved of Silence,
Valley of the Kings;
Pray for the lost and losing.
For the lost and dead.
The power of destruction, the
Power of fear. The fall of the gods!
The earth is young and so old.
That black mark of sanctity. That
black mark of fear. Etched faces of
Gods and Kings once guided and
killed. Horus, seeking his revenge.
A vision powered by tradition,
A dream. If this land falls, it falls
on us all. Rape my country and
we all bleed. The gods must not flee.
