10/12 • THE CLOUDS OF NORTHLAND THUNDER • 2009

Fiercest hunter, Eye of Ra
lady of Slaughter, Lionheart.
Balm for her heart were [bad word] and death
deserts rose, from a lethal dose of her steaming breath!

She stalked the land with arrows of fire
From her bloodlust flooded the red Nile
Growing hunger and thirst lies within
as Pharaohs ride with a might of hot desert winds.

Fearless goddess the
Lionheart
Sekhmet, Eye of Ra
Ablazing in a midday sun and heat of Sahara!

Hunger of the Lionheart,
fiercest Daughter of Ra!
the Nile [bad word] blood-red -
soothe the wildness of the lion goddess!

Cobra and sun disk on her crown
colour of blood red was her gown
Lioness deity with a grin
hunting for prey, in the light of the day she turns on and kills.

She slew the mortals who plotted against Ra
murdered the people around Sahara
Bloodthirsty deity was tricked with a sight
to drink from the Nile, abandon the fight and save humankind!

Fearless goddess the Lionheart
Sekhmet, Eye of Ra
Ablazing in a midday sun and heat of Sahara!

Hunger of the Lionheart,
fiercest Daughter of Ra!
the Nile [bad word] blood-red -
soothe the wildness of the lion goddess!
