'The Mask of Anubis' is the first single from the new Kryptos album 'The Coils of Apollyon'. Release date: February 18th 2012 through Iron Fist Records. In traditional Egyptian lore Anubis, who bears the head of a dog/jackal and body of a man, is referred to as the god of embalment whose main role is to prepare the souls of the dead for procession into the netherworld. Anubis is usually known as the offspring of Osiris (god of the underworld) and Nephthys. There is also a belief that Osiris was in love with Isis but Nephthys disguised herself as Isis and seduced Osiris, which in turn led to the birth of Anubis. The Mask of Anubis is based on a certain twist to the Anubis legend of Egyptian mythology. According to the song Nephthys gives birth to Anubis after an affair with Herrut, the serpent god. Her main motive is to gain revenge on Osiris who had spurned her initial advances due to his infatuation with Isis. Nephthys and Anubis seek the aid of Set (god of darkness and Osiris' brother and sworn enemy) and Thoth (the god of knowledge and magic). Nephthys devises a plan to overthrow Osiris and make Anubis the undisputed god of the underworld. In order to do that they must seek the mask of plagues, which lies in a plane of reality that can only be accessed through a vortex beneath the Nile. Once they attain this mask they perform magick rituals at a sacred site, which gives Anubis immortality and unlimited power over life and death. To Osiris' horror he is captured and sacrificed to Set while Anubis takes his place as the undisputed god of the underworld. The Mask of Anubis - Lyrics ----------------------------------------- Into the depths we go Across the astral planes The winds of Khet blow foul Beneath the cloak of night Into the womb of the Nile The blackened heart of the damned The scarab's eyes glow black With shades of death Hail! O sorceress, dark mistress of Set Bathe my soul in unholy light Master of the spheres Keeper of the spells I am Anubis, The jackal head Into the spectral void The spiral halls of the dead Within this sepulchure The mask of plagues Hail! O temptress, vile minion of Thoth Sear my soul with infernal fire Monarch of the ages Guardian of the wells I am Anubis, the jackal head. Burn Osiris! God of the Dead Hail Anubis! The Serpent flesh Into the moonlit spires Of ancient ruins past The shifting sands of time Bring a ritual sacrifice Hail Nephthys! Witch mother on high Praise Herrut! Viperian liege Patron of the sinners Defiler of the saints I am Anubis, Immortal death
