Lyrics

Horus, the son of Isis, lay in the marshes of Buto
Poisoned by Set
She called out to the High God Ra
To kill this evil, that her child may live yet
Casting aside her present fears
She called out on the Boat of Millions of years…
Ra came and saw
And stopped the sun until he had cured
The life of the innocent
Horus the Good lived in the North
In lands of fertility and beauty
But Set stayed in the hard desert
To him belonged all drought and perversity
While he sheds his tears
Beneath the Boat of Millions of years
He fights to kill the hawk
Bearing with him evil and darkness
But Horus lives with the sun
Forever the battle rages
Evil tries to kill the innocent baby
And only Osiris, the Lord of the Dead
Can eventually save it
So we must cast aside our future fears
And call out on the Boat of Millions of years
The God of Love is on our side
And with him we shall not die…
There’s life in the Sun!
There’s life in the Sun!
Only in violence is the cause lost:
In peace, grey Set can’t kill our baby of love
