about

These are the sounds that accompany Inkhenmet
on his Journey to the City of Judgment.

He is reminded of his evil by his son, Shepsi,
who has left an inscribed bowl at the site of his tomb.
Shepsi is also of a wicked seed, which is why he protests
to his father (and also his mother) for the inheritance of
land defiled by blood. But, this music echoes
the journey of Inkhenmet, with him as the center.

I. A Reminder
II. The Last Bit of Light
III. The Pit of Weariness
IV. Meeting the Dead God
V. Eaten by Darkness

lyrics

-----
This is a reminder of your journey to the dungeon
to the place where Sen's son, Hetepu, was,
when you brought the foreleg of an ox,
and when this, your son, came with Newaef,
and when you said, "Welcome! Both of you, sit and eat meat."
Am I to be injured in your presence, by my brother,
without this, your son, having done or said anything?
And yet, I was the one who buried him.
I brought him from the dungeon.
I placed him among his desert tomb dwellers,
even though thirty measures of refined barley
were due from him by a loan, and one bundle
of garments, six measures of fine barley,
one ball of flax and a cup; even though i did for him
what did not need to be done..
He has done this against your son! Such evil!
But, you had said to this, your son,
"All my property is vested in my son, Shepsi, along with my fields."
Now, Sher's son, Henu has been taken.
He is with you in the same city.
You have to go to judgment with him now,
since your scribes are with you in the same city.
Can a man be joyful when his spears are used against his own son?
