Lyrics

O seti, great one, my father.
I hath finished for thee thy temple at abydos.
And made known the lineage of the blessed.
Those who came before.
I hath exalted mine ancestors.
I hath honoured with the blood and sweat of many.
The legacy of thy conquests.
T hath glorified thy temple of set in avaris.
In karnak, hath i raised the great hall.
In thebes, sublime monuments, grand pylons, obelisks
And colossal statues are inscribed with my name.
By divine right i hath usurped the monuments of my predecessors.
I hath created imposing rock hewn temples.
Monumental colossi in mine own image.
Like as unto the images of amun, re, ptah.
I hath caused to rise a formidable legacy carved in stone.
In the mountain of meha.
Intended to endure a million years.
In the violence of sekhem.
I am become montu,
God of war in the two lands.
I hath suppressed the rebellious.
I hath driven back chaos and disorder.
The conquered chiefs of all foreign lands are beneath my sandals.
I hath emblazoned my countless victories in immortality.
Carved in rocks as living images of the ritual massacre of mine enemies.
I am user-maat-re setepene-re,
Sovereign of sovereigns,
Beloved of amun,
Chosen of re,
I hath made manifest the grandeur of my empire.
To be worthy of thy legacy.
O seti, great one.
User-maat-re, thou hast done nothing.
User-maat-re, thou hast done nothing.
User-maat-re, thou hast done nothing.
User-maat-re, thou hast done nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
