The Cycle of Songs

Son of god of the sun The two lands in thy might Hast established their offerings Twice joyful are gods Twice joyful thy prince Twice joyful be thou Thou hast guarded, ancient order Thou hast caused them to flourish Twice joyful thy young Twice joyful thy men Twice joyful the land Horus eye in the sky, see the boundaries are widening Mayest thou now renew an eternity of thy rule Thy power is rising, enticing The Son of Ra, divine of birth Rule them forever, wherever Guardian of the sun Egypt’s protector, director Immortal Horus made of gold Rule them forever, wherever Guardian of the sun He has taken the land He has come to unite A divine right to power To fire the bow When no string has been drawn As he slaughters the nine Both protector and extender Dread has smitten his foes in their land Twice grateful are we Twice grateful the dead Twice grateful our god He’s the chosen of Ra, he’s embracing the land, the law Mayest thou now renew an eternity of thy rule How the two riverbanks they rejoice at your dread You alone have extended their wide domain
