Epic Progressive Metal
This band is my solo project; still trying to find a gigging metal band. Everything, from death grunts to power vocals to guitar and drums is performed and overdubbed by me (drums are from my piano). Please comment me, either here or my member's page!

Story behind the song
In this half, Osiris is resurrected and has his vengeance against Set. The chants about 3 minutes into it are me. Forgot what the translation is, though... In case anyone's wondering, the chants are three copies of two vocal parts (6 channels) with a LOT of church reverb.
Lyrics
VI. Betrayal (cont. from Part 1) VII. Osiris's Funeral VIII. The Resurrection "By the dread power of Nephthys, gird this flesh anew. O Ra, pardon my past, the uncouth lust for the mystic, and unravel facets undivined by any oracle. Let my love grace the land once more." IX. Vengeance. Like parting hands of ebon cloth The shadow slips away Amidst orgies and sloth Set is unaware. Ire is all Horus knows For his father's detriment Though born again, he rules the dead Vengeance brews and waits. Behold, Set and Eater of Souls The glory of Ra! Never again will you profane The truth of Ma'at. Anubis and his hawk brother Lost in hunter's dance Graceful scythes cleave In holy warrior's trance. Their quarry grows nearer now. Hawk and his uncle now In deadly embrace. Deft parries and lunges Glitter off the sands Pantheon encircle them And Set's blade is chipped. Ma'at expunge his power To brooding exile led Netherworld's secrets now Tomes in the Book of the Dead. X. Coda
