Maat: The Feather Against The Heart

Shokran

Compositor: Dmitry Demyanenko / Sergey Raev / Rodion Shevchenko / Mike Isaev

We shall begin

Another seeking soul
With organs in canopic jars
Just about in time
Raise your head and kneel

Begin the trial

God among the men
Your sarcophagus’ full of scarabs
Buried in the tomb
With all wretched servants

They followed you, can’t see the end of a human chain
You even brought a camel caravan
Your rook is lurching on the shoal
They worshiped you but have you doomed them all?

Demuatef will make a count of all the viands and vines you have consumed
All the words to be evaluated but it is hard to speak with lungs removed
Were you succumbed by your royal pride?
Were the wars you started worth of broken lives?

Impatient Ammut starts drool when (she craves)
The heart is placed on Maat’s scale (awaiting for the feast)
All the vices into deben (cause tilt)
Will the feather overweight?

Do you remember negative confessions?
Fields of Reeds will welcome you once received the ancestors recognition (Speak)
All the temples, sacrifices (Offerings of mortals)
Gold and pelts are for nothing (Was it our true desire?)

I sentence
What will it be? Duat?

Which plate will bear your destiny?
So shall I let you inside our realm?

Open up the gates

Impatient Ammut starts drool when (she craves)
The heart is placed on Maat’s scale (awaiting for the feast)
All the vices into deben (cause tilt)
Will the feather overweight?
