Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Long before the sun
An ocean they called Nun
The endless holy waters
On the primal mound
Occurred a splendid sound
A cry of the first bird
He spread his wings and flew up high above the sky
As a companion of the sun
Heavenly majesty
Of perfect harmony
You are the elder - you're the great
But fire is your fate
Your life will soon be gone
In flames of amber dawn
Will you rise up nevermore?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Amazing entity
Divine legacy
A creature - self-created
Holder of the Ba
Of mighty sun-god Ra
Bennu the holy bird
He spread his wings and flew up high above the sky
As a companion of the sun
Heavenly majesty
Of perfect harmony
You are the elder - you're the great
But fire is your fate
Your life will soon be gone
In flames of amber dawn
Will you rise up nevermore?
After an era of five hundred years
Bennu returned to his home
Fashioned his nest of sweet tasting boughs
He was waiting to burn
Heavenly majesty
Of perfect harmony
You were the elder - were the great
But fire was your fate
Your sacred life was gone
In flames of ember dawn
You will rise up
You will rise up - so proud and reborn
