Nile - In The Name Of Amun lyrics

In the name of the God Amun I wage war North to Gaza I marched my armies of chariots and infantry Twenty thousand strong to crush as revolt of va**al states Rebellious kings of Kadesh and Megiddo Syrians allied with the Mitanni and Amurru Built their settlements taken over the trade route of the Dia Maris Through treacherous mountain pa**es to descend upon the Canaanites On the plain of Esbraelon we rode forth bringing carnage and d**h With chariot and composite bow Attacking in concave formation Vicious three winged piercing spearhead swiftly overwhelming both Canaanite flanks Fearlessly I smote their center Savagely we broke the enemy's will Heavy slaughter and bitter suffering did we inflict upon them At the word of the God Amun I waged war In the name of the God Amun I sanctioned atrocities Wanton cruel remorseless in the name of the God Amun Surrounded scattered broken demoralized shamed defeated The rebels fled into the city of Megiddo Trapped like rats they closed the gates behind them Seven months we lay siege to Megiddo utterly breaking the league of rebels I Thutmose III. have brought doom upon the rebels Vicious and pitiless destruction have I inflicted upon the vanquished I have slaughtered the captives Slain the wounded, enslaved their women, ma**acred their populace k**ed their people by the tens of thousands I have hacked up their lands, desolated their towns Cast fire into their dwellings caid settlements to waste I have made mounds of their cities Cut down their fields of grains, felled their trees Every resource of life have I denied them Their resettlement can never take place I have destroyed them utterly at the word of Amon Ra
