Yesterday I dug out my (musical) keyboard. It had lain beneath the bed for a long time. I was a lot out of practice. This made me kind of frustrated, but more sad. Still, it was good to play again instead of spending my whole night killing time with non-productive stuff. Perhaps I will even compose again soon.
I have thought about making a theme album telling the story of a person's journey into the afterlife, Egyptian style. I wrote an opening song back in autumn, but unfortunately, it is rather tricky to sing, because what my head can come up with exceeds my voice's abilities.
Anyway, here are the words:
Where am I?
I cannot see or hear.
I cannot speak.
I cannot even breathe.
I feel like I am in
My mother's womb again.
Someone is here ...
He stands before me
But he feels so far away.
He opens my senses,
And he is gone.
I open my eyes.
I am standing by the river,
And the sun is setting on this side.
I am
In the West.
I remember now,
I remember now:
The beating of my heart;
The quiet of the dark.
The lady with the dark birds came,
And she called my name.
She smiled kindly;
She took my hands and whispered:
"Do not be afraid.
It is time to go."
Oh, also, does anyone know the glyphs for "zep tepi"? I feel like this is something I should know, but I don't.
