Annihilation of the Wicked Songtext
von Nile

The dominion of Seker
Barren desert of eternal night
Shunned by Ra
Behind the gate Aha-Neteru
The wastelands of Seker

Eldest Lord of Impenetrable Blackness
Death God of Memphis
He of the darkness and decay of the tomb
He of Rosetau
The mouth of the passage to the Underworld
Closely guarded by terrible serpents
Who careth not for his own cult of worshippers

Seker
Ancient and dead
Primeval naster of the world below
Remaineth unwitnessed, unseen
Hidden in his secret chamber


His primitive graven image
Like as a hawk-headed man
Shrouded and swathed in tomb wrappings
Standing between a pair of wings which
Issue forth from the back of a monstrous serpent
Having two heads
Having two necks and whose tail
Terminates in a human skull

In thick darkness
Amid violent tempests of unendurable cacophony
His serpents make offerings unto His image
And live upon their own fire

His servants
Hideous reptiles of terrifying aspect
Whose work is nothing less
Than the Annihilation of the Wicked

Consume the bodies of the damned
By flames of liquid fire
They emit from their mouths
And the Goddess Quetet Tent which liveth
On the blood of the dead

On their blocks
They cut into pieces the flesh of the dead
Singing hymns of torture and mutilation
To their master


Accompanied by the wailings and anguish of the damned
They wreak destruction upon the wicked
Those who hath not recited the formulae
Nor made the sacrifices
Or who know not the words of power
