Jackal-Head - The Crüxshadows

Shifting inside patterns

the division multiplies

echoing the mystery

mimicking the slide

sound searching slowly

below the flaming web

moving with his eyes like fire

with his jackal-head

(with his jackal-head)

Give it all to birth

give it all to life

take it all for granted

until we turn and die

She answers with her staff

silence from her breath

silhouettes of temples falling

visions of certain death

hand lift it from the pocket

the prophet falls to red

the sacrifice is offered

to his jackal-head

(to his jackal-head)

(chorus)

(transcribed)

The constellations in the sky look on us The stars, the moon, the Nile

The Nile brings life

And life is the cycle

We shall grow and receive the Nile

Again and again

As life shall come

And be taken away.

Thus is the prophecy that is ever among us Thus is the words of our (father?)

…and one God is this in all life.

(chorus)

He who defiles the tomb of the pharaoh

shall surely find swift death

He who defiles the womb of the pharaoh’s queen

shall surely find swift death

For the Cycle of Life is sacred

The Cycle of Life moves through all of us Thus says Amun the Father

Thus says Ra the Sun and the Light

Thus says Aten the One

and Osiris the Dead

Thus says Isis the Fertile

and Horus the Living

Thus says Ptah the Creator

and Anubis the Master of Souls
