Wind of Horus

Ashu Give us Power
 To Oppose this Legion of Shrikes
 They hath Defiled our Monuments and Graves
 For their Greed of Treasure
 Ashu Sehu Neferui Skhenn
 We Are the Breath of Horns
 Hot as the Desert Wind
 We are Slayers and Reapers of Men
 By the Arrow Shot from Lanata
 You will Fall to your Knees Dead
 or Begging Quarter
 Torn to Shreds by Obese Vultures
 Fossilized in the Desert Sand
 We are the Breath of Horns
 Hot as the Desert Wind
 We are the Slayers and Reapears of Men
 You will Never Escape
 This Valley Gallala
 Left to Decompose
 Forbidden the Underworld
 Bemused by Battle Lust
 I Gash your Throat
 And Splatter your Blood
 Upon the Altar of Bes
 We Erect one hundred Pyramids
 With your Severed Heads
 Ashu Sehu Neferui Skhenn
 [This song was inspired by a battle from a book caled River God by Wilbur Smith. The story takes place in the latter half of the 14th Dynasty, and is about a struggle to restore the majesty of the Pharaoh of Pharaohs. Tanus, leader of the mighties army of Egypt, the Blue Crocodile Regiment, hunted down and destroyed the Shrikes, a horrid nomadic tribe of thieves, rapists, and murderers that played the Egyptians. The title of the song, "Wind of Horus," refers to the name of the boat of the Blue Crocodile Regiment. It is an enchantment of the god Horus to cause the wind to blow the Egyptians' sails in time of need. The repeated chant in the song is to invoke the god Ashu, who robs the enemies of the Egyptians of their virtues, weakening and destroying them. The word Lanata is mentioned in the song. Lanata was a bow made for Tanus by Taita the slave and was made of wood, ebony, rhinocerus horn, and ivory tusks. The bowstring was made out of the guts of a lion that Tanus had killed with his bronze-bladed war spear. Tanus was probably the only one in his army strong enough to use the Lanata bow. It had so much tension that he had to use a different technique just to pull the bowsting back. Tanus practised until he could shoot three arrows at a time piercing the heaviest of armor.]
