about

Anubis is one of the most iconic gods of ancient Egypt. Anubis is the Greek version of his name, the ancient Egyptians knew him as Anpu (or Inpu). Anubis was an extremely ancient deity whose name appears in the oldest mastabas of the Old Kingdom and the Pyramid Texts as a guardian and protector of the dead. He was originally a god of the underworld but became associated specifically with the embalming process and funeral rites. His name is from the same root as the word for a royal child, "inpu". However, it is also closely related to the word "inp" which means "to decay", and one version of his name (Inp or Anp) more closely resembles that word. As a result, it is possible that his name changed slightly once he was adopted as the son of the King, Osiris. I wrote this song inspired by the story of Anubis and that even through multiple religions and cultures, he is still known to this day. As if it doesn't matter what his origins were, it was what he stood for that kept his legacy alive through the ages.

lyrics

V1
The sun beats down the darkness
But only for so long
Before the night consumes us
The memories left are gone

Trials and tribulations
Are a constant way
The roads ahead are many
No matter what they say

Bridge
To rise above the battles
Instigate another hit
Doubt and struggle blind us
And we are the fire lit

Facedown every challenge
Expect the unexpected
UnKnown is the path before us
And fear is rejected

Chorus
Born into a world... made of clay
Hardened and hollow, fragile in the fray
Background and Bloodlines...
that hold you down
The origins of one, show nothing, of what can be found

V2
Choice lies in the victim
Claiming circumstance
Where seeds of pain are buried
Can never yield advance

Only in our struggles
Can we perceiver
Only when we lose ourselves
Can we find we're here

The callousness of people
Will never understand
The power deep within
Will bend to your demand

Interlude
The past will haunt you with decisions that made
To instill doubt in you every day
Regret can be your final undoing
If it's left unchecked with no restrain

Chorus 2
Born into a world... made of clay
Hardened and hollow, fragile in the fray
Background and Bloodlines...
that hold you down
The origins of one, show nothing, of what can be found
