Violent clashes engulf the war torn black earth

Political turmoil brings chaos and ruin upon the upper

And lower kingdom heretics and Zealots rape the two lands

Brazen rampant looting and wanton vandalism a bleak reality

Destroying entire epochs of history

Necropolis undisturbed for millennia ravaged

The dead not meant to be eaten by dogs or jackals

Or broken apart by the greedy and desperate

In search of shiny bits of metal

Dogs play with human bones

Amongst hundreds of deep pits bug into exposed tombs

Children scavenge for shards of pottery amongst grisly Debris

The unwrapped and dismembered remnants of the mummified dead

Ancient burial wrappings unravel in the desert wind

Broken bits of wooden Sarcophagi

Shriveled mummified hands bleached skulls spines arm and leg bones

Scattered all around like the aftermath of a massacre

The temples of the gods defiled

Looters hack relics off sacred walls

Laying bare hands upon the images of the gods themselves

Thieves ransack antiquities

Cutting monuments and statues into

Small parts to sell upon the black market

Manuscripts despoiled, Papyrii burned, inscriptions defaced

The images of the gods defiled

Statues stolen priceless coffin reliefs and stelae strewn in sand

Thousands of Pharonic God objects melted down

Inscriptions and wall paintings desecrated with knife and hammer

Limestone casings stripped from atop the lesser pyramids

Entire temples disappear their foundations laid waste

Their stones pulled down, taken away and sold

To be reused in foreign and profane lands

The dried and withered corpses of the preserved dead torched

The bones of the Royal Dead from centuries past

Ripped from their ancient slumber

Left to be trampled kicked and faded in the sun

As heretics and Zealots rape the two lands

Rape the two lands
