|
Horus, the son of Isis, lay in the marshes of Buto,
|
poisoned by Set.
|
She called out to the High God Ra
|
to kill this evil, that her child may live yet.
|
Casting aside her present fears
|
she called out on the Boat of Millions of years...
|
Ra came and saw
|
and stopped the sun until he had cured
|
the life of the innocent.
|
|
Horus the Good lived in the North,
|
in lands of fertility and beauty
|
but Set stayed in the hard desert,
|
to him belonged all drought and perversity.
|
While he sheds his tears
|
beneath the Boat of Millions of years
|
he fights to kill the hawk,
|
bearing with him evil and darkness.
|
But Horus lives with the sun.
|
|
Forever the battle rages,
|
evil tries to kill the innocent baby
|
and only Osiris, the Lord of the Dead,
|
can eventually save it.
|
So we must cast aside our future fears
|
and call out on the Boat of Millions of years.
|
The God of Love is on our side
|
and with him we shall not die...
|
there's life in the Sun!
|
There's life in the Sun!
|
Only in violence is the cause lost:
|
in peace, grey Set can't kill our baby of love.
