Whisper in the Ear of the UnBlessed Dead
And My Words of Power are Heard in
the Underworld

The Dead
They are Compelled to Obey Me
Even Unto the Worlds Below

Yea I Whisper in the Ear of the UnBlessed Dead
An they Heed my Necromantic Demands
For I have Bound Them

Inexorably
Cursed in this Life and the Next
I Whisper in the Ear of the UnBlessed Dead

And They Tell me Things No Living Man Knoweth
For I Have Taken Possession of their Shadows
And They re Mine To Command in

the Netherworld

I Dream of the Dead

And Their Shades Showeth Me Visions
Which No Living Man Can Know
I Whisper in the Ear of the Dead

And Mine is the UnWritten Knowledge
That Lieth Under The Black Earth


To Speak The Name of The Dead
Is To Cause Them to Live Again


[The inspiration for this song comes from the exploits of
Nectanabus, the last native Pharaoh of Egypt. His reign was
during the 4th century B.C. and he was historically rumored to

be a great sorcerer and necromancer. It is believed that
Nectanabus ruled Egypt, overcame his enemies and even kept his
political rivals in check by means of the exercise of magickal

and necromantic arts. He is credited with possessing the power
to restore amputated limbs and the capacity to replace the heads
of the slain and decapitated without injury. Nectanabus was said

to have been deeply learned in the wisdom of the oldest of the
ancient Egyptians. He "knew what was in the stars of the
Heavens." He was skilled in reading the stars, foretelling the

future of the unborn, and a master of communion with the dead.
He is also called "The Lord of the Earth" and is said to have
"secretly ruled all earthly kings by magickal means." It is said

that he whispered whis commands in the ears of the dead, so that
they should carry out his designs in the spirit world. According
to early historians, Nectanabus exercised control of many of his

enemies by enslaving the souls of the newly dead, commanding
them to learn the secrets of the enemies via the spirits of the
underworld, and using this knowledge against his enemies.

Nectanabus continued is necromanticambitions, even using means
of sorcery to achieve military ends until the day the gods
decreed his rule should end and Nectanabus was forced to flee to

Macedonia.]
