THE BOOK OF THE DEAD: HE ESTABLISHETH HIS TRIUMPH by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "HAIL, THOU WHO SHINEST FROM THE MOON"
Last Line: VICTORIOUS THROUGH THE DARK!
Subject(s): DEATH; "DEAD, THE;"

HAIL, thou who shinest from the Moon
And walketh through the crowded night
Lifting high thy torch!

I also come, a Shining Soul
Standing firm upon my feet
Despite my shadowy foes.

Open wide the Gate of Death
For me who bear the Rod of Gold
Victorious through the Dark!
