To Walk Forth from Flames Unscathed

Khenti Amenti

Dead God of the Dead

Who was old aeons before the lordship of the Dead

Was usurped by Osiris

Long before the priests of Asar

Forbade the cannibalism of the Dead

Those who could not afford to be buried

Were to be eaten or burnt

Or devoured by crocodiles

Or fed to the hyenas and Jackals

The seven who work slaughter

In the Lake of Fire who feed upon the Dead

Who hack necks to pieces

Who seize hearts and tear them from breasts

I beseech thee

Feast not upon my heart

Devour not the insides of my skull

Gorge not upon my entrails

Gnaw not upon my limbs

Tear not with your teeth the flesh from my bones

I pray to the Four Apes

Who sit at the corners of the Lake of Fire

Whose mouths vomit forth flames

To propitiate the Gods

As it was for he who walked forth from the Inferno

And wast not burned

Let me emerge unscrathed from self immolation

Let me be neither seared nor incinerated

Let me come forth unmolested

Let me not be repeatedly consumed in Pits of Fire

Let me walk forth from fire

Let me walk forth from flame unscathed
