Pyramidian Of Amenhotep III

PYRAMIDION OF AMENHOTEP III [Intro — whispered, temple breath] Black stone shining in the morning flame Gold on the river, sky speaks my name Benben rising where the heavens lean I am the point where the unseen is seen Ha-ra, sa-ra, amen-na-ru Light comes through, light comes through Ka of the king, breath of the sun Many are the temples, but the flame is one [Verse 1] I was born where the Nile remembers Where the lotus drinks the dawn Where the priests in linen silence Watched the stars before they’re gone I was carved from the hush of ages Set with fire in every line A mountain’s crown, a solar doorway Earth below and Ra divine Amenhotep, golden thunder Builder of the radiant field Palace light and temple wonder Every stone a vow revealed Thebes was breathing, lions waking Columns singing into blue Every shadow turned to amber When the morning Aten moved [Pre-Chorus] Lift me higher, lift me higher To the place where light begins Where the serpent crowns the fire And the soul remembers skin [Chorus] I am the pyramidion I am the flame on the crown I am the eye of the rising sun Where heaven touches ground I am the golden axis I am the point and the gate I am the voice in the polished stone Saying rise, remember, create Pyramidion, pyramidion Fire in the ancient bone Pyramidion, pyramidion I turn the temple into tone [Verse 2] Winged disk over the eastern face Two serpents guard the breath Wedjat eyes in holy watching Life outshining death Not a stone but a frequency Not a crown but a key A black-gold mirror of origin Calling the sleeper free I have seen the desert kneeling I have felt the stars descend I have heard the hidden river Where beginning has no end Amenhotep, lord of splendor Sun-lit sovereign of the lands Raised the world in sacred measure With the cosmos in his hands [Pre-Chorus 2] Open, open, temple body Let the solar current climb Spine of earth and skull of heaven Meet inside the breath of time [Chorus] I am the pyramidion I am the flame on the crown I am the eye of the rising sun Where heaven touches ground I am the golden axis I am the point and the gate I am the voice in the polished stone Saying rise, remember, create Pyramidion, pyramidion Fire in the ancient bone Pyramidion, pyramidion I turn the temple into tone [Bridge — ceremonial rise] Place my heart at the summit Place my breath in the ray Place my name in the morning Let the old veil fall away I am not buried in history I am awake in the field Every glyph is a current Every silence is sealed Sa-ha-ra, en-ka-ra Aten breath and Amun star Ma’at rises through my chest Gold returns where truth can rest [Breakdown — deep somatic chant] Root to river River to flame Flame to crown Crown to name Name to silence Silence to sun Sun to body Body is one I am stone I am tone I am throne I am known I am light I am breath I am life Beyond death [Final Chorus — full choir] I am the pyramidion I am the flame on the crown I am the eye of the rising sun Where heaven touches ground I am the golden axis I am the point and the gate I am the voice in the polished stone Saying rise, remember, create Pyramidion, pyramidion Fire in the ancient bone Pyramidion, pyramidion The lost light has come home [Outro — whispered] Black stone, gold sun Earth and heaven become one Amen-ra, Aten-ray The crown still sings at break of day
