THAQIL AL-QALB (Heavy Heart) 2nd Version

[Intro: Haunting Egyptian Woman - Whispered, D minor, ethereal, distant reverb] Anubis... Anubis... (Oh jackal god...) Weigh the heart... against the feather... [breath, reversed whisper] Ana fee intizarak... [I am waiting for you] [Verse 1: Male Rap - Ramirez Style Flow, Lo-fi, D minor, aggressive] Yeah, black sands, black dog at the gate of the tomb, Jackal head, dead stare, watch you enter the gloom, Scales tippin', heart drippin' with the sins that you kept, He don't talk, he just stalk when you lay in your death, Anubis, cold grip, linen wrapped on my neck, Gold teeth, no sleep, where the soul can't rest, Pyramid shadows crawl, hear the jackals howl, Followed home, can't atone, now you hear it growl - AHH! [Chorus: Haunting Egyptian Woman Lead + Male Adlibs - F# minor, KEY CHANGE UP, chilling harmony] Oh, Anubis is calling (calling) your name, Weigh your heart in the black flame, Feather light or you fall - duat awaits, Can't escape... Anubis knows your fate (yeah, yeah, yeah) [Female runs in Arabic scale - Ooooh Ya Anubis, Irhamni] [Verse 2: Male Rap - Suicideboys style, slower, drugged, F# minor, heavy 808] Uh, NyKo in the Nile, let the river run red, Ankh on my chest but the cross on my head, Two tongues, jackal son, sniffin' fear in your sweat, Book of Dead on the floor, can't forget what you said, Dog god laughin' while I'm chokin' on smoke, Sarcophagus open, bitch, you woke what you shouldn't have woke, He don't want money, he don't want gold, He want that heavy heart you sold - soul froze. [Chorus: Haunting Egyptian Woman + Male Harmonies - E minor, KEY CHANGE DOWN, more desperate] Oh, Anubis is calling (he's calling) your name, Weigh your heart in the black flame, Feather light or you fall - duat awaits, Can't escape... Anubis seals your fate (seal your fate) [Female - layered whisper: Al-qalb thaqil... thaqil... / The heart is heavy] [Verse 3: Male Rap + Female Call & Response - G minor, MOST INTENSE, double-time at end] Walk with me through the hall where the dead don't speak, Forty-two judges watch, knees get weak, Anubis - snout to my throat, teeth to my soul, Judgement cold, no parole, let the darkness take hold, [Female: Ya Anubis!] I seen his eyes glow green in the temple smoke, [Female: La tarham! - No mercy!] He said boy you ain't shit, you already broke, Scales drop - THUD - hear your heartbeat choke, Feather rise, heart sink, now you never woke! [Final Chorus: All Voices - D minor return, slowed, reverb drowned, ritual chant] Anubis is calling... calling your name... [female lead, male whispering underneath: weigh it, weigh it] In the black flame... [808s cut out, only heart beat + sistrum] Duat awaits... duat awaits... Anubis... knows... your... fate... [Outro: Haunting Egyptian Woman - A cappella, chilling, D minor, close whisper] Shhh... He is behind you... Your heart... was too heavy... [long breath, jackal growl, vinyl stop]
