Set is perhaps the most mysterious god of the ancient Egyptian pantheon: a lord of contradictions and conflicts, a god at once saving the world and rejected as a traitor, an incarnation of Other which, unlike all remaining Egyptian deities, was not even given a recognisable animal face.
The red dunes are my home Far away from the black Earth I have to wait for the barbarians To come and worship me again
Nightly I save you all from the serpent Which stalks the world with no end But you still kill me and castrate Turning me into my victim
I am trampled by those whom I save Despised down and up the river The double slayer, the isolator Set, the lord of desert, is me
Riding the storms of sand so alien I am You can't even give me the head There would be no life and rebirth Without my fratricide and fight with the bird
Yet, you break my statues And spear them for a sign Of ungodly displacement And banishment to the edge of the night
I am trampled by those whom I save Despised down and up the river The double slayer, the isolator Set, the lord of desert, is meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
