THE MOTHER OF HORUS song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

the mother of Horus was daughter of Earth
daughter of Sky throne to the child
her blood was the wind that carried the hawk
her tears were the waters of the Nile

she married her brother Osiris and with him
conceived what was never before
the god of the hunt the god of blood
the god of all Egypt the god of war

Isis Isis
goddess goddess
now that you've gone
is the world safe
is the world better?
history is long
longer than long
the night has no bottom
and time goes on forever

the mother tricked Ra into telling her
the secret most secret of his name by rote
the snake of the world bit him on the throat
and only she had the antidote

and so all his power then came to her
and she had all power in universe
the mother of Horus looked down and laughed
and the Greeks and the Romans did fear her curse

her milk was the cure to cure all pain
to cure all ill to cure all death
the wounds of the warriors went away
when she leaned down to share her breath

Isis became the queen of heaven
and ruled the stars by royal decree
none shall be higher none shall be wiser
no one shall see what they can not see

but that was all over so long ago
the gods became weaker and disappeared
and so we replaced them with stronger gods
the limitless science and infinite fear

Isis Isis
goddess goddess
now that you've gone
is the world safe
is the world better?
history is long
longer than long
the night has no bottom
and time goes on forever
