Anubis (Radio Edit)

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. Fooling around in the studio, creating some weird arabic melodies and suddenly it was all there! 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 make a great recipe for a catchy goth-metal crossover classic.

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
