[Invocation] Ring the bell; strike the burin. Let the room remember the hand. [Verse 1] Face west where the red disk lowers, where the day gives up its name. Turn east without a word, let the first white edge enter. [Chorus] Ra-Hoor-Khuit, hold the hinge, keep the measure, keep the flame. What was hidden takes its shape; what was counted speaks its name. [Verse 2] Burn the first cake to an ember, watch the flour become air. Take the second cake between the teeth, let the body answer prayer. [Bridge] I go forth without a bargain, without a lock, without a chain. The vow is not a road before me; the vow is standing in the rain. [Chorus] Ra-Hoor-Khuit, hold the hinge, keep the measure, keep the flame. What was hidden takes its shape; what was counted speaks its name. [Outro] I consume within the flame of prayer. Ash on tongue, heat in bone. No borrowed face remains here— I rise as the fire has known. [Final Chant] Ring the bell. Face west. Turn east. Speak the name. Burn what was first. Take what was given. Go forth unbound. Become the flame.
