lyrics

Verse 1:

The Neteru are personified forces of nature/ Divine aspects from the source the creator/ The misfortune is major for a captive coward/ That's a combative doubter to the active power/ Which produces things in regular recurrence/ It's urgent each person becomes more observant/ To the unseen laws that govern the universe/ Lets discuss the roles of Tehuti first/ A neter of knowledge and exciting wisdom/ Credited with developing a writing system/ It gets deeper as the keeper of the book of life/ He records names and deeds to see if they looked for strife/ The 42 laws of Ma'at we should abide/ The European religion you should put aside/ People remain ignorant because of mental imprisonment/ It's instrument to implement intellectual vigilance/

Chorus:

Anpu, Nekhbet, Mut, Khnum, Nephthys, Suti/ Horemakhet, Ausar, Auset, Heru and Tehuti/ Wadjet, Sobek, Sekhmet, Ma'at, and Ptah/ Tefnut, Shu, Nut, Geb and Amun Ra/

Verse 2:

This knowledge may in fact be stunning yall/ For some, they can't understand how the one is all/ This cosmic force bestowed life upon you/ Let's move onto the functions of Anpu/ It is said, after someone died and fled/ He will seek the lost souls and guide the dead/ To the judgement halls for the weighing of the heart/ Dictating the fate of souls by playing his part/ Birth by Nephthys, who's the goddess of death and shit/ Protects Ausar's mummy as a funerary specialist/ She's antithesis of her sister which is Auset/ Better known by Isis, don't forget/ The neters of moisture and air, Tefnut and Shu/ Gave birth to the earth and sky, Geb and Nut/ Heru, Auset, and Ausar are the original trinity/ I'm just a messenger not your enemy/

Chorus:

Anpu, Nekhbet, Mut, Khnum, Nephthys, Suti/ Horemakhet, Ausar, Auset, Heru and Tehuti/ Wadjet, Sobek, Sekhmet, Ma'at, and Ptah/ Tefnut, Shu, Nut, Geb and Amun Ra/
