Anubis

Anubis (; Ancient Greek: Ἄνουβις), also known as Inpu, Inpw, Jnpw, or Anpu in Ancient Egyptian (Coptic: ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲡ, romanized: Anoup) is the god of funerary rites, protector of graves, and guide to the underworld, in ancient Egyptian religion, usually depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head. Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumed different roles in various contexts. Depicted as a protector of graves as early as the First Dynasty (c. 3100 – c. 2890 BC), Anubis was also an embalmer. By the Middle Kingdom (c. 2055–1650 BC) he was replaced by Osiris in his role as lord of the underworld. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife.

Follow the trail of slaughtered lambs
To the dwelling of the damned
Take the step, don't be afraid
Of what lies within
But when the road breaks away
And the night devours the day
No one left to hear you pray
In the dark and cold
Your guide is gone without a trace
The beginning of the chase
As a dark and distant face
Shows it's eyes
He is the scourge of all the slain
Patron saint of the profane
And your failure is his gain
In this deadly maze
Deception burning in his eyes
From his lips, soothing lies
A preacher stalking for his prize
Will ensnare the stray
You're sleeping in the serpent's jaws
Crawling straight into his claws
Falling to the tragic flaws
Of your kind
Don't follow the lights
That fade into the darkness
Don't follow the devil
He'll lead the lamb astray
Step into the night
In blood sport and blindness
Tonight you'll hear no final prayer
For the prey
Don't listen to the creature's cries
He's the devil in disguise
Flee and fear the dark demise
For your life
Don't follow the lights
That fade into the darkness
Don't follow the devil
He'll lead the lamb astray
Step into the night
In blood sport and blindness
Tonight you'll hear no final prayer
For the prey
Come alive and follow me
Open up your eyes
Got to wake up far beyond this neverending nightmare
Will you fall into a dream
From reality
When you close your eyes you know you'll never see the light again
Don't follow the lights
That fade into the darkness
Don't follow the devil
He'll lead the lamb astray
Step into the night
In blood sport and blindness
Tonight you'll hear no final prayer
For the prey
