[Verse 1] Papyrus scrolls in the tomb’s cold air Spells written for the soul to bear I leave the body, the flesh behind And walk the paths the gods designed Through gates of night and halls of flame I speak the words, I claim my name [Pre-Chorus] Anubis waits with scales of gold Thoth records what the heart has told [Chorus] Weigh my heart against the feather of Ma’at Let truth be light, let falsehood fall If the scales balance, I shall not die I rise as light in the eternal sky Book of the Dead, guide me through the dark Let my name live on in the house of the heart [Verse 2] I pass the serpents, the lakes of fire I answer demons with pure desire Negative confessions leave my tongue “I have not stolen, I have not wronged” Osiris sits upon the throne I kneel before him, not alone [Pre-Chorus] Anubis waits with scales of gold Thoth records what the heart has told [Chorus] Weigh my heart against the feather of Ma’at Let truth be light, let falsehood fall If the scales balance, I shall not die I rise as light in the eternal sky Book of the Dead, guide me through the dark Let my name live on in the house of the heart [Bridge] I am the wind that crosses the Field of Reeds I am the star that the night sky needs I am the voice that the gods still hear I am the soul that has no fear [Final Chorus] Weigh my heart against the feather of Ma’at Let truth be light, let falsehood fall The scales are still, the judgment done I walk forever with the rising sun Book of the Dead, the journey ends In the light where the pure heart ascends [Outro] Soft as papyrus… fading ink… My name remains…
