A prayer by the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh at the temple of Sekhmet.

O!

May the sea fail to part us, I plead.

May my heart not float upon the still

red sea of the battlefield

My Pharaoh, my king, son of the Sun

Give chase and conquer

For my arms await

Missing the sweet, heavy burden of your

bronzed frame.

I plead the gods, return.

I plead the stars, return.

Upon my heart that bleeds for you

Return to me

Let us make another

The envy of nations we will become.

Return to me, my love

My Pharaoh, my king

Return to me, I plead.
