Ashu Give us Power
To Oppose this Legion of Shrikes
They hath Defiled our Monuments and Graves

For their Greed of Treasure
Ashu Sehu Neferui Skhenn
We Are the Breath of Horns

Hot as the Desert Wind
We are Slayers and Reapers of Men
By the Arrow Shot from Lanata

You will Fall to your Knees Dead
or Begging Quarter
Torn to Shreds by Obese Vultures

Fossilized in the Desert Sand
We are the Breath of Horns
Hot as the Desert Wind

We are the Slayers and Reapears of Men
You will Never Escape
This Valley Gallala

Left to Decompose
Forbidden the Underworld
Bemused by Battle Lust

I Gash your Throat
And Splatter your Blood
Upon the Altar of Bes

We Erect one hundred Pyramids
With your Severed Heads
Ashu Sehu Neferui Skhenn


[This song was inspired by a battle from a book caled River God
by Wilbur Smith. The story takes place in the latter half of the

14th Dynasty, and is about a struggle to restore the majesty of
the Pharaoh of Pharaohs. T !@#*, leader of the mighties army of
Egypt, the Blue Crocodile Regiment, hunted down and destroyed

the Shrikes, a horrid nomadic tribe of thieves, rapists, and
murderers that played the Egyptians. The title of the song,
"Wind of Horus," refers to the name of the boat of the Blue

Crocodile Regiment. It is an enchantment of the god Horus to
cause the wind to blow the Egyptians' sails in time of need. The
repeated chant in the song is to invoke the god Ashu, who robs

the enemies of the Egyptians of their virtues, weakening and
destroying them. The word Lanata is mentioned in the song.
Lanata was a bow made for T !@#* by Taita the slave and was made

of wood, ebony, rhinocerus horn, and ivory tusks. The bowstring
was made out of the guts of a lion that T !@#* had killed with
his bronze-bladed war spear. T !@#* was probably the only one in

his army strong enough to use the Lanata bow. It had so much
tension that he had to use a different technique just to pull
the bowsting back. T !@#* practised until he could shoot three

arrows at a time piercing the heaviest of armor.]
