[Verse 1]
Demon who denies me
Who cuts off heads and severs necks
Who renders incoherent the words I speak
Sealing my mouth against the magic which resides in me
You who shall not see me
Kneel on your knees
Go with thy face behind thee
[Verse 2]
Wander without purpose
With your face averted
Looking back averted
Looking back in dread
Upon the tormentors belonging to Shu
Who relentlessly follow you
Crawling after you
To cut off your head and sever your neck
[Verse 3]
At the behest of one who has despoiled his lord
On account of your threats unto me
To reduce me to incoherence
To cut off my head
To sever my neck
To seal my mouth
[Bridge]
On account of the magic which resides within my body
May your face be downcast at the sight of my countenance
May the flame of the eye of Horus go forth against you
For abhorrence of you is in Osiris
Thus abhorrence of you is in me
[Bridge]
On account of the magic which resides within my body
May your face be downcast at the sight of my countenance
May the flame of the eye of Horus go forth against you
For abhorrence of you is in Osiris
Thus abhorrence of you is in me
[Verse 4]
Go back to the tormentors belonging to Shu
Dead yet deathless
Who relentlessly follow you
Shambling tirelessly on rotting limbs
Crawling after you
To cut off your head and sever your neck
[Outro]
For abhorrence of you is in Osiris
Thus abhorrence of you is in me
For abhorrence of you is in Osiris
Thus abhorrence of you is in us
For abhorrence of you is in Osiris
Thus abhorrence of you is in me
For abhorrence of you is in Osiris
Thus abhorrence of you is in us
