The Pharaoh Sails To Orion

'Get away from me!
“速速退開！
Take heed to thyself and see my face no more!
爾其留心，自今而後，無復相見！
for in the day Thou see my face
覿我面者
Thou shalt die!'
必死無疑！”
- Exodus 10:28
出埃及記10:28

這星座是上天傑構
A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth
神聖海港——獵戶座
A holy harbour - Orion
碧海向蒼天升騰
Nautical ascension to the firmament
船舶般的墳塚，將我的心向這片大地的智慧敞開
Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land
同航者乃巨蛇惡妖，酷虐睡魔
Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman
獨角獸隨西風而至，夢見了他的葬禮

“汝之誕也，霍魯斯神（古埃及太陽神），是居於汝“
The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral
與起伏漲落的海墓一同安睡
'Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee'
”汝身之生，塞特（亞當第三子）是寄“
Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb
現出你的真容，領我穿過冥河之野
'Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee'
迷住我的魂靈，服侍你的意志

在遙遠的大海上從黑暗向著解脫啟航
Reveal your face to me and guide me through the Stygian fields
向著天龍座的一瞥抒寫大洋般的故事
Enthral my soul to Sepedets beams to serve Your will
藉著死神的鐮刀，你刳割我們的哲思
Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance
一條古老的星路消融於繁星裡
Tales like the ocean written to the Dracos glance
“啟爾血脈，以入我毒
Ruling with the scythe of death you tear our philosophies apart
爾舌扭結，以吻蛇虺
An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars
故爾其躋於蒼穹之圍場

以觀夫丐者之悼，天使之舞
'Open thy veins for my venom
今夕何夕，教堂之下
Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue
執子之手，永結同好
So shalt thou join the empyrean circus
嗟夫冥府之新婦！ ”
Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance
在遙遠的大海上從黑暗向著解脫啟航

向著天龍座的一瞥抒寫大洋般的故事
In this twilight cathedral
藉著死神的鐮刀，你刳割我們的哲思
Shall I wed thee,
一顆古老的星辰
O Bride of the Netherworld'
溶進我的靈魂，是那天上的獵人

Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance
Tales like the ocean written to the Dracos glance
Ruling with the scythe of death you tear our philosophies apart
An ancient star
Join my soul the Hunter in the sky
