about
Anubis is the jackal headed God of the ancient Egypt and lord of the underworld. The band had for some time played with the idea to write a song with a more oriental touch. The band fooled around in the studio, creating some weird arabic melodies ans suddenly it was all there and it was obvious that the lyrics just had to circle around death, mummification and the afterlife. The bombastic drums, the tremolo-picking guitars and the grinding bass makes a great recipe for a catchy goth metal classic!
lyrics
Lyrics:
At night I have a connection
The spiritworld haunting my dreams
A jackal head, a funeral procession
Curse of the Pharaohs, silent screams
Down, down around we turn
A kiss of Isis, eternal beauty
Watch the tower at the horizon
At dusk we’ll fall, Osiris calls
A sacred scarab crawls for the diamond
He who is upon his mountain talks
Anubis, Anubis
In flames we could see the spirit rise
All around us
It’s cold, the weighing of the hearts
We bring the sacrifices
We sing our praise to the underworld
Anubis, salvation and despair
Interitum - Anubis
Regem inferus - Anubis
The dead is here for protection
I smell the rotting flesh
The fate of soul dictation
My naked spirit, pure and fresh
Down, down around we turn
A kiss of Isis, eternal beauty
I search for the light of morning
Trapped in chains inside a tomb
Lost my breath, neglected the warning
I’m fading out under a balsamic moon
Anubis, Anubis
