In the Beginning Was the Word and the Word was Ptah
The Shabaka Stone from the Great Temple of Ptah in
Memphis proclaims: Ptah brought all these things into being with his heart
And with his tongue
He envisioned the world then spoke it into existence
In the ancient Egyptian city of Het-ka-Ptah
Before souls walked the shadowed halls in silent awe
Rose the mighty Ptah-the Lord of Eternity
The architect of the Word who uttered existence into presence
Whose heart conceived whose tongue forged the cosmic arc
From silence Ptah birthed endless Space with his mind's eternal spark
O Ptah the primal architect who rose
From the Primal Waters of Nun to forge Creation
In your heart the world was shaped before the first emanation
When neither Spirit nor Time roamed the formless void
You ignited the stars and maintained Ma'at's cosmic Harmony
You lifted the vault of crystal sky commanded Creation like a symphony
From unformed Light you made the gods emerge-Atum and the Nine the Ennead
Your heart the forge your Will the flame in Creation's grand design without end
Ptah commands the cosmos bends
His heart devises his tongue defends
From Word to world all Life unfurls
In Ma'at's embrace the order swirls
Hail Ptah the eternal Maker
Who conceived Creation and uttered existence
In crystal skies and infinite expanse
O Great Ptah Lord of Eternity
Who spoke the world out of infinity
Your tongue like lightning fierce and flashing storm
Split the primal chaos birthing ordered form
Created Tefnut's power of misty rain
Breathed Shu's wind through tempest's reign
In Men-nefer's halls of gleaming polished stone
You guide the draughtsman's hand with steady tone
No labor mars your sacred tranquil rest
Yet all things flourish at your Word's behest
The lotus blooms in Nile's emerald tide
The dead awaken eternally glorified
Ptah conceives the cosmos bends
His heart devises his tongue commands
