Anubis - Weigh Your Soul

The sands remember... The dead bear witness... Place your heart upon the scale... No kings. No crowns. No lies. Only truth remains. Woke in the dark with the taste of dust, Hands still shaking from a life of lust. Saw two burning eyes through the desert haze, And a jackal-shaped shadow at the end of the maze. Ancient stone hall, cracked pillars of gold, Every wall held a story I was never told. Footsteps echoed while the silence grew, Like the tomb itself already knew. Death drums sounded from the chambers below, Calling lost souls where the black winds blow. I tried to turn back, tried to run away, But the path behind me had faded to grey. Then a voice cut through like a blade in the night: "Every deed you buried comes into the light." No throne... No crown... Can save you now. No wealth... No disguise... Can hide what's behind your eyes. ANUBIS! WEIGH MY SOUL! EVERY HIDDEN SCAR TAKES ITS TOLL! ANUBIS! JUDGE OF THE DEAD! A THOUSAND LOST VOICES INSIDE MY HEAD! ANUBIS! THE SCALES DON'T LIE! THE TRUTH GETS HEAVIER THE MORE YOU HIDE! ANUBIS! THE DRUMS HAVE COME! WEIGH YOUR HEART TO THE SOUND OF THE DRUM! At the end of the hall stood the scales of fate, And the jackal king waiting at the ancient gate. Black stone armour, eyes glowing red, Guardian of the roads that the dead must tread. He placed a feather on a silver tray, Then motioned for my trembling heart to weigh. Every lie I'd spoken started taking form, Spirits from my past gathering in a storm. Promises broken. Trust turned to dust. People I'd wounded for power and lust. Every betrayal replayed in my head, Every cruel word I wished I hadn't said. The heavier it grew, the lower it sank, And the silence around me grew bitter and blank. Don't speak... Don't run... The weighing has begun. Don't beg... Don't cry... The scales decide. ANUBIS! WEIGH MY SOUL! EVERY HIDDEN SCAR TAKES ITS TOLL! ANUBIS! JUDGE OF THE DEAD! A THOUSAND LOST VOICES INSIDE MY HEAD! ANUBIS! THE SCALES DON'T LIE! THE TRUTH GETS HEAVIER THE MORE YOU HIDE! ANUBIS! THE DRUMS HAVE COME! WEIGH YOUR HEART TO THE SOUND OF THE DRUM! One heart... One feather... One lifetime... Measured forever... HEART ON THE SCALE! TRUTH PREVAILS! NO MORE MASKS! NO MORE VEILS! HEART ON THE SCALE! TRUTH PREVAILS! EVERY SECRET! EVERY TRAIL! BOW TO THE JACKAL! BOW TO THE DEAD! EVERY DARK THOUGHT COMES BACK TO YOUR HEAD! BOW TO THE JACKAL! BOW TO THE SCALE! WHEN THE FEATHER FALLS EVERY LIE WILL FAIL! Then the scales tipped hard with a thunderous sound, And the temple shook from the ceiling down. I looked to Anubis but he never spoke, Just watched as the darkness around me broke. From the shadows emerged with a hunger untamed, A beast fed by every sinner's shame. Crocodile teeth and a lion's stare, The smell of death hanging thick in the air. Ammit waited beside the throne, For every heavy heart she'd claim as her own. I saw my reflection in her eyes so black, And knew there would be no turning back. ANUBIS! WEIGH MY SOUL! EVERY HIDDEN SCAR TAKES ITS TOLL! ANUBIS! JUDGE OF THE DEAD! A THOUSAND LOST VOICES INSIDE MY HEAD! ANUBIS! THE SCALES DON'T LIE! THE TRUTH GETS HEAVIER THE MORE YOU HIDE! ANUBIS! MY TIME HAS COME! WEIGH MY HEART TO THE SOUND OF THE DRUM! The feather was light... My heart was not... The scales were balanced... Then they were not... Ammit... Has fed.
