Into the Ninth Gate the Powers of Chaos hold dominion
The gods and magicians muster forces to resist disorder,
Yet they secretly thirst for it
Onwards into the eastern part of the sky
Six masters of magicial spells,
Saiu the Makers of Spells by Cords
Before a forgotten god rises the serpent Apep
Above the demon Shesshes
Upon the lion’s back the Opposer, the God Horus-Set
Double god now one united Neter, holding the White Crown
Chaos power, 8 headed serpent Shemti, the desire of Apep
I am Kharebutu, the Fourfold Fiend, mouth spitting fire and blood
Serpent Bata, Upu, Abeth and the Boat of Afu, consume!
Afu becomes Khepri, Souls of Ament and those of Ra escape!
Nothing is free from Apep, eternal and coiling chaos
By 8 powers of Shemti by the will of Ra, Horus and Khepri,
Bring Order briefly to Disorder, Kharebutu waits…
Tenth Gate command Ra to become the Sun-god of tomorrow
The Ankh restrains, commanding eternal life
Horus-Set wields the magical bow of war, Mehen
Adorned with 6 Serpents
Apep brings disorder and vampyric death,
Stefiu and their chain restricts!
Scorpion-goddess Serqet strangles Apep
Antiu and Henatiu gods wield staffs and knives
The Strength and Power of Apep is great and terrible
Uamemtiu, Serpent gods join with Apophis of Darkness,
The Four Sons of Horus, Geb hold them fast!
Uamemti, Mesu-Betshu, Children of Revolt hail!
The 11th Gate opens to the Boat of Afu
The Hidden God rises from the waters of Nu
Afu enters Nut the vast Sky
Kharebutu is pierced with five stakes, chains
Hacking to pieces, venom falls into Amenti
Order is made by dawn anew
Set possesses Sekhem to conquer Apep
For the Black Flame inspires the Ennead
Kharebutu, Four-Fold Fiend takes shape again
Waiting in the anti-cosmic abyss, chaos in darkness
That which is used to shape new worlds
Apep encircles and is the boundary, bringing disorder
Strengthen and challenging the Neteru
Khepri is illuminated anew from strife
They know Order only for a time
Darkness will consume all, the abyss calls…

Waiting in primal chaos, ancient one
From the beginning of time I exist as many
In the chaos of timeless being I am alpha
I am omega the great disillusion
Freedom from constant form
Apep the encircling darkness
My forms are worshipful as I am beyond bounds
Malevolent pleasure slipping into the waters of life
Saatet-ta, I will devour the earth
The Ennead will be bled dry and swallowed
The Sun will be eclipsed and extinguished
I thirst always, Ra cannot withstand my forms
In the Third Gate we take form, Tem seeks to restrict chaos
A spell upon Apep, body slashed to pieces
The fire of Ra so thinks to consume the Darkener of the Earth
Saatet-ta is reborn, taking shape again in immortal darkness
Seba and Af, open the doors of the Tuat to Apep
Let disorder consume all, darkness to reign!
Seventh Gate, the worm called Mamu rise
My coils encircle all and my shapes are eternal
Saatet-ta before the gods strong and immortal
Apep’s venom and primal essence has touched the ennead
For Set takes form as Apep to restrain its chaos
Neteru bring balance, yet I will devour Ra and the gods
The strong and wise so use darkness like the was scepter
Kheti the fire-serpent, Mighty Fire, opening thy mouth,
Distending thy jaws, spit fire upon the enemies of Horus
Burn their bodies and consume their souls!
