A HILL TO DIE UPON - Eclipse Of Serpents lyrics

rate me

Lyrically, this obviously has a strong Egyptian feel inspired by the Exodus of Israel.

The over all terror and panic of the divine deconstruction that took place during the Exodus was a very exhilarating topic to create from.

The very core of the Egyptian people was shaken and the land was torn from it's roots.

The name Eclipse of Serpents was chosen because of it's initial appeal to the power of Anubis that, upon further listening, becomes more and more satirical.

The song itself was written in a space of two hours with only minor changes made since.]

Io!

Shafts of plague and pythoness gift

The blackness of Bast hast cometh unto us

Heiracosphinx! Slain

By judgement's flaming sword

Canst thou see the blood of the Nile?

Iä!

Of all blights! 'Tis our sorry lot

To suffer black, night, and boils

Theban courage and Memphian lust

Thou darest stain with blood

Lo! The torment of the snake

Scythian blades - Jackal's feet

Hail! The conquest of...

The Uncreated one

Open the book of Adapa

And behold the coming of plagues

Morbid philosopher

Behind the curtain of lies

Ave! Thou art greatest of fifty - Ave! Avenger

Ave! Thou art Greatest of fifty - Ave! Leviathan<br />
