Nitocris, beïta shel Neit ve Pepi Nitocris, daughter of Neit and Pepi
Leïdater (hi) brakha your birth is a benediction
Dam malkhouti zorem be orakaïkh a royal blood runs in your veins,
Sipourekh yiyeï le hagadah your story will become a legendary tale,
Isias, Ateravis, sodekh lo yivadah Isias, Ateravis, nobody
Yom ekhad tihiyi must know your secret,
lekheleq me hahagadah One day you will be a part of the legend
Como imekh ha malka Nitocris as your mother NITOCRIS

I was proclaimed the pharaoh
But now to save the throne
I’ll talk to the land and Nitocris is my second hand
And I received the dart – (received the dart)
My forces leave me (my forces leave me)
The deadly poison invades me
I rejoin the forefathers in the realm of the dead
And I leave my love Nitocris
Go – Queen Nitocris save the land
The princess of Egypt will rise
Merenrê is in the throes of Death
Overcome your fright and your cries
As I cross the threshold of a new empire
My love stands petrified
But the guards take her away
To protect this queen - the queen of the day
Oh - I rejoin the forefathers in the realm of the dead
And I leave my love Nitocris
Go – Queen Nitocris save the land…
Save our souls – Queen Nitocris

I am your soul
I am your bâ
The two worlds collide Nitocris
I'll be on your right side
Every time, every day
I will guide you on the right way
I fly in the air, over the land
And my life on this Earth have passed on and on
My soul will fly away
My fate is in your hands
My ba is far away
My fate is in your hands
I see my murderer
leaving the scene of crime
I recognize a little man
He was at the royal court
He was the instrument
But I know the masters, the deceivers
I’ve spread my wings to the skies
I fly like Horus
My face lies up on my falcon corpse
My soul will fly away
My fate is in your hands
My ba is far away
My fate is in your hands

The conspiracy
07:00
|
|||
In the house of the queen, the temple is cold as ice
There’s a shadow on your back, there’s treachery in the realm
Something wicked will come, the conspiracy goes on and on...
To reach their fondest dream, Ipout wants to be the Queenslayer
After assassing me, Nitocris knows but she has no clue
She wants to see the truth, but she has no proof
The second mother Queen has blood on her hands
Due to jealousy and the conquest for power
She will rise the people, the rebels will scream
The fight for the truth - A suspicion - A betrayal –
the lies – The fears - this is the conspiracy
Defending the throne to save the control of the land
The lies – the fears – this is the conspiracy
Lies at the court
Now a chilling atmosphere reigns at the court
Separate clans are born, Ipout and Khenou
Against the others, faithful to the Queen
They will fight for the truth
The second mother Queen has blood on her hands
Due to jealousy and the conquest for power
She will rise the people, the rebels will scream
The fight for the truth…
"You can't take the poison out of the crocodile,
The snake, the evil man."
"It is against the one who does evil
That evil will inevitably be done".
"Don't trust a brother, don't know a friend,
Don't make friends,
There's no use in that,
For there are no friends
For a man on the day of misfortune..."

The secret letter
04:56
|
|||
He was a man with honor, and wisdom
He was the hand of Pepi the second
Atou has crossed the years and all the kingdom
Living in amnesia, living in absentia
One day, the memories came back to him
Now he stands here with the parchment paper
These evil words – written by Ipout - Sent to Taharqa
They have found the black page, a letter from the past
A secret was revealed, the truth is really unreal
Atou has survived and is still alive
Truth is in his hands, now begins the revenge…
The secret letter reveals the terrible truth
The queen’s in danger but now has a proof
It sentences to death all the conspires, the murderers
Ipout, Khenou, Ptahnefet and Taharqa
Searching for them in all the kingdom court
They run away from Memphis
They feel the wind turn
These evil words – written by Ipout - Sent to Taharqa
They have found the black page, a letter from the past
A secret was revealed, the truth is really unreal
Atou has survived and is still alive
Truth is in his hands, now begins the revenge…

The march of war is on and on, on all the trails of the land
Beyond the Nile on East and West, they struggle with strength
The rebels of Ouaouat, of Irjet, of Hammamat,
In the haven of Dakhleh, repressed by the army
The rise of Aoutef’s Army
The rise of the soldiers, you’re my flesh and my blood
Thy kingdom really comes
The nomads, the looters will be destroyed by my fighters
The final step will be in the West, in the Lybian land
The rise of Aoutef’s Army
The rise of the soldiers, you’re my flesh and my blood
Thy kingdom really comes
Don’t follow this way, this is a trap
The rise of Aoutef’s Army…

Lost in the west
04:35
|
|||
She’s a dying soul - Face to the desert sand
She’s a dying soul - Death will strike again - Death will strike again
She’s a dying soul - An evil storm is rising
She’s a dying soul - Taharqa has disappeared
Suddenly she is
Lost in the West in the middle of nowhere
If I don’t find Sioua’s haven
Death will strike all our army
A crual prelude to our agony
She gets a fright – She has no supplies, no water
She gets a fright – Lost in the Lybian land - Lost in the lybian land
In the desert land - The shafts have been poisoned
In the desert land - I accuse Taharqa’s betrayal
Suddenly she is
Lost in the West in the middle of nowhere
If I don’t find Sioua’s haven
Death will strike all our army
A crual prelude to our agony
Lost in the West in the middle of nowhere
If I don’t find Sioua’s haven
Death will strike all our army
A crual prelude…
Lost in Lybian land…
Lost in the West…

Desert Storm
04:24
|
|||
Lost, lost, lost in the desert sand
I feel a cold wind and it sparkles on my face
The desert storm arrives, the desert storm awakes
The roaring tempest is in the air
I hear a crack of thunder in the blood red skies
Seth is coming
The sands shall rise
He’s Seth into the storm
You can’t see him
He is the void
And here is the silence in the night
A scream among the nocturnal sounds
Into the desert storm
Under the moon, we will fight to save you
Aoutef
Faced, faced, faced to the enemy
I hear the great priest, he has used his voice
To pronounce the words, the curse of the damned
The trumpets of doom echoes in the wind
He’s the bringer of chaos, the bringer of pain
Seth is coming
Merenrê
The sands shall rise
He is Seth into the storm
You can’t see me
He is the void
And here is the silence in the night
A scream among the nocturnal sounds
Into the desert storm
Under the moon, we will fight to save you
Osiris, try to save her, honor my name, Forever
Djed medeou Wake up for Horus
I res en Horus aha ir issetch Stand up against Seth

Osiris God of the dead
04:28
|
|||
My kâ is your kâ, I’m Osiris
Dismembered in 14 parts
Resurrected by my sister and love Isis
I hear your call for another round
Today in the desert sand I will reborn
Another time, another place
But still against Seth
Storm, like a storm
The evil faceless God
Seth appears on Earth
Our communion is a chance, Merenrê-Osiris
Transcended by the feelings of revenge
The two souls as one will honor your name
Against the forces of abyss
Merenrê
This fight in the desert land has come to an end
the victory of the falcon god face
Gettin' back Seth from the Earth's surface
Storm, like a storm
The evil faceless God
Seth appears on Earth
Osiris God of the dead - Defender of my soul
Osiris God of the dead - Master of the underworld
Osiris God of the dead - Defender of my soul
Osiris God of the dead - Master of the underworld

Mask of wrath
04:16
|
|||
The enemy is behind you, the enemy is near
He acts on the behalf of Queen Ipout
He looks for the secret place, he tries to find the heirs
Ankh-Taharqa will kill again very soon
On Tanis’ village, he founds the house of Senen
The royal blood lives behind these walls
He kills the children, dying by his sword
Searing their flesh, taking their souls
Hate – Can you feel the hate
Baât will be the angel of pain wearing the mask of wrath
The mask of wrath – There’s no turning back
How can you kill children with no humanity?
You’re just a murderer guilty of avidity
You just kill for power, you act with cruelty
You’re just an assassin guilty of insanity
She awaited this time, year after year,
This revenge will be accomplished
She’ll kill the reaper, she’ll kill the slayer
Searing his flesh, taking his soul
Hate – Can you feel the hate
Baât will be the angel of pain wearing the mask of wrath
The mask of wrath – there’s no turning back

By the torture
05:49
|
|||
Hearing a crack of thunder, we stand in the pouring rain
Aoutef and Siptah wait with the precious prisoner
Taharqa will see Baât again, she will make him suffer
He will die with an endless pain
At the end of an obscure lane, they force him to kneel and to pray
Baât is now in front of him, she wears the mask of Death
She will slaughter with rage, she will slaughter with violence
Prince Taharqa, this is your last hour
Death will catch you
You got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Vengeance has grown inside of her
And has exploded in herself
You will fall into pieces, by the torture
To satisfy her revenge she’ll be the torturer
Executing the prisoner, the prince of Oryx
He will die for his kills, he will die for his murders
Pray the Gods to forgive your sins
Death will catch you
You got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Vengeance has grown inside of her
And has exploded in herself
You will fall into pieces, by the torture
Baât
Taharqa, you don’t recognize me?
You tortured me, you raped me a long time ago,
These years of suffering are still printing in my memories
I have awaited this moment with impatience
My revenge will come, you will die
Death will catch you
You got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Vengeance has grown inside of her
And has exploded in herself
You will fall into pieces…
Kill you was the only way
You can’t know what she has endured
Now you sleep in another world
Vengeance is done
Vengeance is done

Eternal love
05:11
|
|||
Fate – I feel there’s no escape
There’s no solution to save the land
Every trial you have suffered
Too much hardships, too much pain
Now it’s enough
Your vengeance will be in your hands
You have made your evil plan to eliminate all your foes, all your enemies
There’s no turning back
Love - Hate - This is my fate
Life – Death - This is my choice
I want to join you in this afterlife
I think I have lost all the battles I fought
Don’t leave me alone
Stay with us
It’s so hard to bury a friend
What about your children, what about your realm?
Stay with us
Love - Hate - This is my fate
Life – Death - This is my choice
You want to join me in this afterlife
I don’t think you’ve lost all the battles you fought
Love - Hate - This is her fate
Life - Death - This is her death
The choice is made – now you’re leaving this world
To join your love, your eternal love
Merenrê
Oh, gods relive her
She made her choice
She wants to die

The blood red temple
04:46
|
|||
At the center of her universe
She gives some orders
To the architects of the royal court
They elevate a temple of stone
A building with mysteries
A place without a throne
A burial place she wanted to see
A first foot in the grave
The blood red temple – Let her fall asleep
The blood red temple – Will transcend my soul
Now for her the time has come
The builders are left, the work is done
Aoutef and Siptah come with her
She shows them the sacred burial
She’s scared not to hear me anymore
Aoutef says: “don’t worry”
But she’s prepared to die and to live beside me
Her after life forevermore
The blood red temple – Let her fall asleep
The blood red temple – Will transcend my soul
The blood red temple – Resigned to her fate
The blood red temple – Will transcend my soul
The blood red temple – Let her fall asleep
The blood red temple – Will transcend my soul
The blood red temple – Resigned to her fate
The blood red temple – She’ll die before she wakes

From dust to the stars
09:59
|
|||
Now she is in Memphis after a time of wilderness
Now the blood red temple is built
It’s time for forgiveness, she wants to beg a pardon
To Ipout and Khenou, and their circle of friends
She wants to recreate peace and harmony
With an opening ceremony, a disastrous plan
Sister, join me to the land of the dead
Let the madness begin
Kill them all
She’ll bring chaos in the blood red temple
Only five survivors, the ones she loves
She’s invited all her enemies, a royal banquet is dressed
But a perfid trap will close on their foes
They will be fooled, they will be fooled
In the middle of the feast, Nitocris whispers
To Baât and Aoutef, she orders them to leave the fest
To carry away Siptah, Atou and Tenemrâ, saving their lives!
I have Seth in my head
He pushes me to kill them all
Before I kill myself
A pharaoh in the great hall
She’ll bring chaos in the blood red temple
Only five survivors, the ones she loves
It’s the beginning of the end, the end of your reign
The end of your dynasty, no turning back
No time to come astern
You’re not leaving this world, you’ll be just somewhere else
You’ll fly in the air with me
Engulf this world
Open the flood gates
And engulf this world
Open the flood gates
My vengeance is done
Open the flood gates
My vengeance is done
She has killed her foes in this temple
Only four survivors, the ones she loves
She has drowned her foes in this temple
Only five survivors, the ones she loves
I’ve no fear coz’ I get back to you
I’ve no fear coz’ Death will free my soul
You rejoin me for eternity
You come to the other side
You liberate your soul
Please Gods relieve her
Please Gods relieve her
From dust to the stars
