Mine is this yesterday of the tails of cobras, That ennead, beings of the west Whom horus has illumined, And who witnesses against seth I emerged from the primeval waters of nu Came into being by my own
Heru-ra-ha By my cry the world got filled Heru-ra-ha By all which I had not known Heru-ra-ha My house is the pride That comes before the fall I am the light, the shining one And the pyre that devours all
Enter my child with woe, with mirth I am the alpha through omega Phenex, binnu bird Heru-ra-ha!
Mine is the cycle dividing today from tomorrow, Ascension and descent, wisdom revealed For everything great is built upon sorrow In all that is sweet goes terror concealed.
