Whisper In The Ear Of The Dead lyrics
Whisper in the Ear of the UnBlessed DeadAnd My Words of Power are Heard inthe UnderworldThe DeadThey are Compelled to Obey MeEven Unto the Worlds BelowYea I Whisper in the Ear of the UnBlessed DeadAn they Heed my Necromantic DemandsFor I have Bound ThemInexorablyCursed in this Life and the NextI Whisper in the Ear of the UnBlessed DeadAnd They Tell me Things No Living Man KnowethFor I Have Taken Possession of their ShadowsAnd They re Mine To Command inthe NetherworldI Dream of the DeadAnd Their Shades Showeth Me VisionsWhich No Living Man Can KnowI Whisper in the Ear of the DeadAnd Mine is the UnWritten KnowledgeThat Lieth Under The Black EarthTo Speak The Name of The DeadIs To Cause Them to Live Again[The inspiration for this song comes from the exploits of Nectanabus, the last native Pharaoh of Egypt. His reign was during the 4th century B.C. and he was historically rumored to be a great sorcerer and necromancer. It is believed that Nectanabus ruled Egypt, overcame his enemies and even kept his political rivals in check by means of the exercise of magickal and necromantic arts. He is credited with possessing the power to restore amputated limbs and the capacity to replace the heads of the slain and decapitated without injury. Nectanabus was said to have been deeply learned in the wisdom of the oldest of the ancient Egyptians. He "knew what was in the stars of the Heavens." He was skilled in reading the stars, foretelling the future of the unborn, and a master of communion with the dead. He is also called "The Lord of the Earth" and is said to have "secretly ruled all earthly kings by magickal means." It is said that he whispered whis commands in the ears of the dead, so that they should carry out his designs in the spirit world. According to early historians, Nectanabus exercised control of many of his enemies by enslaving the souls of the newly dead, commanding them to learn the secrets of the enemies via the spirits of the underworld, and using this knowledge against his enemies. Nectanabus continued is necromanticambitions, even using means of sorcery to achieve military ends until the day the gods decreed his rule should end and Nectanabus was forced to flee to Macedonia.]
