Ancient Egyptian creation texts sung and translated

Intro

From the waters of Nun

From the dark of the deep

Verse 1

The primeval waters were endless and still

Nothing had stirred in the shadow and chill

Atum arose on the mighty mound

The first light of all that was ever found

Pre-Chorus

He spoke against Apep the serpent of night

He scattered the atoms that swallowed the light

Chorus

From the waters of Nun came the first dry land

And Atum called the name of Benu where he stands

The soul bird landed from the sky above

Atum joined the light of creation and love

Hook

Oh-oh the Ra is burning bright

Oh-oh it drives away the night

Verse 2

The Benu opened its wings in the sun

The first land rose where the great work was done

The syllable spoken a name made of fire

That woke up the deep and lifted it higher

Pre-Chorus

Atum joined the radiance golden and whole

And Ra expelled the darkness of the soul

Chorus

From the waters of Nun came the first dry land

And Atum called the name of Benu where he stands

The soul bird landed from the sky above

Atum joined the light of creation and love

Bridge

The light of Ra expelled the darkness

The light of Ra expelled the darkness

Chorus

The serpent is fallen the night is undone

The atoms are scattered and mirrored the sun

Atum and Ra one radiant stream

And all that had slept woke up from the dream
