"Let the dust of ten thousand, thousand-hundred day's rise from the dry riverbed. Rise into the air, bright clear and clean. May the stones, unworn by the passing of uncountable moments, hear me, as they rest against each other. Fingers of hot winds of the Southern fringe, caress me. Move me to these ones I implore and move my words to them. I am Uhamur. Sired of Anhur, God of War. I am Uhamur. Loper of sands and friend of the Gods under the Stars of Asharah! Osiris-Rah, Amon-Rah, Horus-Rah, Set-Rah, give me my birthright's former strength! I do pledge once more my Everoath to You. Here is one who has served in your name! Long after You have left this time on the skybarge for the Underworld, I remain. Here in this new world, I call on Your glory as Your powers are no more. Though I have gone from You, still I feel your great weight upon my kah. Grant me strength to undertake this voyage. I name it, Tebbaren. Breathe again the world's light! Fly again through the world's air! Stand again upon the world's earth! Slake again your thirst from the world's well! .. .. .. .. .. .. and if you will it, take me from here to join You, as I weary without Your touch. See, my tears are the great river that leads only to you. I waste the water happily only to feel Your all-seeing eye upon me once more. Let me not be left without answer? Send this voyage and see it safely return? I am without fear of the dark Apep, serpent of Oblivion's door. I fear only Your distance! See I dance for You! I dance because stillI live and would make sure You see it. O, Nekbhet, Queen of Carrion, do not dine on my flesh, for I dance for all my Fathers' Gods! Instead spread Your mighty span. Let those wings that shielded King and God alike, lift this voyage through this world's worlds and touch this voyage down easily as You do atop the Pyramid and nest! Let me know Your will. I am but sand and water, my air is spent."
