Nile - Serpent Headed Mask Lyrics






Aa-herit Nebu Huit-Ra
We come before Thee wearing serpent headed Masks
In sanguinary worship we offer the Tcheser-t Senfiu
The sacrificial drink of the Gods of Blood
In a goblet carved from a human skull

Aa-t-aru
Fiendish blood drinking reptile Lord of the Ankhit-Thekh
Rites of bloodfeast
We propitiate Thee with our own fluid of life
And the freely offered flesh of these ritual prostitutes
That Thou mayest copulate with thine self
And spill Thy seed upon the Black Earth

Aui-f-em-kha-nef Netri nek khefa
We don the Abui ames Machta the ceremonial two horned phallus
To become as like unto the two horned serpent god Sekhui
We besmear ourselves with the bloodseed of
The living serpent goddess Arati
And with curved blades
Shed our skin

    B.... ....

    +B1-66ER Agree with both, but can't we all agree this song is fucking jampacked with amazing riffage? THANK YOU KARL SANDERS!!!

    B.... ....

    there's only 1 Karl Sanders!!

    B.... ....

    It's one of those moments rising in memory alternately
    over the years

    B.... ....

    this album back in 1998 kinda started off the Djent metal or Arabic metal style of Metal if I can say, only no one knew about Nile back in 1999, they finally gained recognition in 1999 in europe with festivals and more promotion.

  3. T.... S....

    I have a serpent headed schlongster

  4. L.... D....

    watch this fbi.... please... is music eygptian... watch me nect video chioce... for more #im pissed

  5. R.... ....

    HaHa, yeah thats kinda true. I dunno i think what i love so much about early Nile albums is how they mix that new technical/progressive style with that raw intensity of old school death metal.......which includes those type of vocals. Ive just never heard vocals that I've thought were too deep before haha. But then again i listen to Cock & Ball Torture and shit with pitch-shifted vocals so....

    R.... ....

    Rebornthrudoom lol cbt use fx with their vocals I think but SHIT BEAST from gutalax is gay but listen to it

  6. R.... ....

    NIGGA YOU CRAZY

  7. b.... ....

    give me da nubian egyptian black pyramid building METAL!!!!!! NILE!

  8. M.... M....

    Mermerisi vaskoliko! samo tanjisi Great song! \m/

  9. 4.... ....

    two favorite death metal bands

  10. N.... ....

    We can't talk about At The Gate of Sethu then..

  11. J.... d....

    As do I. I don't get it why some metalheads seem to love shitty production for some reason

  12. s.... ....

    METAL UP YOUR ASS!

  13. W.... ....

    Thats not why they get more polished production. It has nothing to do with trying to make more money. Its because they become better at what they do and get access to better means of production as they get more successful.

  14. W.... ....

    Its simply because they get better and more professional and they get access to better means of production. Its not because they want to make more money like that other guy said. It simply just happens. Same as how bands get more technical. They just get better at everything and they evolve.

  15. T.... D....

    I actually like well produced metal, (and raw sounding metal as well), as long as it doesn't start sounding processed, like some kind of pop-metal situation, and Nile certainly isn't that.

  16. M.... W....

    Can't tell if you're trolling, or if you're an idiot.

  17. O.... G....

    What the fuck overproduced means ? The fact that we have to technology to make stuff better ? :P lol

  18. P.... ....

    I think you will find they use mashed potato.

  19. D.... ....

    Kickass!

  20. t.... ....

    i never said they sold out, youre the one implying they changed their production to "make a living." you made it sound like youre ok with bands changing their sound for cash. frankly, ive always been fine with their production on everything after Seeds of Vengeance which was actually a bit too muddy.

  21. D.... J....

    So you're saying when a band stops adhering to muddy crap sound and they want their fast musical riffage to be heard more clearly, it's selling out? Makes sense to me! Just kidding, that's ridiculous and absolutely stupid.

  22. t.... ....

    making a living? so youre ok with bands compromising for cash?

  23. A.... ....

    Well, that`s like saying "the shittier is sounds, the better". Listen to some underground old black metal, if you want shit production.

  24. W.... ....

    This is absolutely the best Nile's song IMHO. Really rich in riffs and good ideas.
    Short, but intense.

  25. C.... M....

    Now the lyrics are kinda.. strange- nevertheless awesome song!

  26. m.... ....

    first nile track I heard, still one of my favourites along with stones of sorrow. this album kills it

  27. L.... B....

    @RamManNo1 lemme guess key word here is OVER PRODUCED you remind me of my english teacher :P HIGHLIGHT IMPORTANT DETAILS CHILDREN

  28. I.... ....

    @RamManNo1 "Nile is over-produced, meh wahh... WAHHH WAHH!" :'O

    I like to picture my Nile as a golden-baby Satan. Just chillin up in heaven, revolting against the establishment and listening to early Pentagram records. It helps me get past the crisp production of the equally devastating new Nile albums.

  29. b.... ....

    @RamManNo1

    Because of something called "making a living." I'm pretty sure you know about that.

  30. s.... ....

    @CrushJehovah well fuckin put thank you

  31. M.... ....

    @FirePower3006 napalm death would stomp you into oblivion

  32. h.... ....

    i came here to hear NILE no to read about what religions is good,fake or gay, just listen the fucking music!

  33. B.... ....

    @mujuma Cannibal Corpse is very lowbrow Death Metal.

  34. A.... K....

    @FirePower3006 it's ok.
    I've never liked Cannibal Corpse after Vile, Georges vocals blow really hard after that.
    I've never been a fan of Nile, as much as I tried, I just cant seem to get into their shit.
    I enjoyed this album though, the vocals were more 'brutal', as much as I hate saying that word.

  35. A.... K....

    @FirePower3006 Corpsegrinder? he sounds like shit compared to this.

  36. l.... m....

    my fav nile song...get ya comments right people. fuck ur politics, its about music!

  37. W.... G....

    @FirePower3006 Thanks for not making a mess of this. You're very polite, and yeah I get what you say.

  38. W.... G....

    @FirePower3006 I think most of death metal bands out there sound alike, and these guys brought something fresh to the genre. I absolutely love death metal from the simple to the intrincate stuff, and I've listened to a lot of bands too, and I think Nile is a terrific band. It's just matter of opinions and tastes. BTW I like Napalm Death, they're grindcore forefathers. Again, it's a matter of taste.

  39. i.... ....

    @FirePower3006 If you have nothing good to say than don't say nothing at all

  40. J.... C....

    @ExtremeAgressor420 You can't be a stoner and listen to death metal, you probably listen to bob marley too don't you?

  41. B.... ....

    @RamManNo1 You think this is over-produced? You are a total weirdo, go listen to your Norwegian black metal :P

  42. R.... ....

    Nile is OVER-PRODUCED. Old CC is good, but newer stuff is OVER-PRODUCED also. Why do ALL metal bands feel the need to OVER-PRODUCE these days?

  43. J.... M....

    @dowhatthouwiltful Nile is older than Melechesh

  44. J.... M....

    I HAVE THIS ALBUM!!!!

    I prefer Those Whom The Gods Detest and Ithypalic, these are the best

  45. S.... V....

    The Exorcist 2 sample, fuck yea!

  46. S.... E....

    @Deathloc45 Nile and Cannibal Corpse are both great bands but I really love Nile's melodies and how it combines metal with ancient Egyptian music.

  47. S.... E....

    Superior track!!!!

  48. m.... ....

    MY FAVORITE NILE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  49. s.... s....

    NO !! CC is not heavier .. i think AEON could be matched easily in term of brutality though they differ in style !!

  50. R.... V....

    @Deathloc45 Even though they are both Death Metal I think it's still comparing apples to oranges. Sure i can see this song being compared to CC but let's talk about any song from Annihilation of the Wicked. There are more Egyptian influences in that which makes it hard to compare CC and Nile. I think a BETTER comparison would be Behemoth and Nile. Now we are talking IMO

  51. r.... ....

    @TheFingerbang1 true that haha. Douriff has been in so many good horror movies.

    *Roars* "I do that rather well...don't you think?"

  52. R.... T....

    @rogueshdw The original is the best but 3 is totally underrated - that pretty much goes for any film starring Brad Dourif, what a legend.
    The only thing I dont have mixed feelings about from the sequal is a teenage Linda Blair in a slip of a night dress.Nice.

  53. r.... ....

    @TheFingerbang1 haha i had mixed feelings on that sequel. the third one is the best IMO

  54. C.... F....

    It would be sick if these guys played in Toronto on their next tour, I've been dying to see them live without having to go down to the States to see them.

  55. V.... ....

    @turtelman1234 OH GOD THE IRONY

  56. t.... ....

    @mujuma listen to the last song on anihilation of the wicked i dont know how to pronounce the name since its in german but the first word is von and the last word is kulten the middle word is impossible to say

  57. A.... K....

    I'm only just getting into Nile. So far, their amazingly technical and well structured. But they lack a strong vocalist. I just don't really seem to like his style, he has some moments though.,

  58. A.... Z....

    True but so what? They are both kick ass bands besides CC is my fav. band so i go with them

  59. R.... T....

    The sample at the start is from Exorcist II: The Heretic and is probably the only thing from that film which doesn't suck.

  60. K.... ....

    They played this when I saw them last night. It was fucking insane!

  61. K.... T....

    @666Nickw
    Yea, whats with all the notes, and sounds coming out of my speakers too?
    Never quite understood that either, This shit MUST be magical or something, I mean every time I put a disk shaped object in my computer or car some stuff starts making noises, truly a weird experience.

  62. S.... ....

    "That thou mayest copulate with thine self, and spill thy seed upon the black Earth" Best line ever.

  63. A.... ....

    lol in LV they didn't even show up to the show with Megadeth, too scared i think

  64. C.... M....

    We come before Thee wearing serpent headed masks
    In sanguinary worship we offer the Tcheser-t Senfiu
    The sacrificial drink of the Gods of Blood
    in a goblet carved from a human skull....

  65. T.... C....

    @MetalShredder95 Well thats a matter of personal opinion dude... To some people, lots of people, lyrics do matter. They don't matter to me as much as the music and composition do but they still matter...

  66. T.... C....

    @666bringerofdeath fuck you, Suicide silence rules. Nile has fucking opened for them. Don't gt me wrong, I'm not saying they are better then Nile because technically speaking its a no contest. BUT STILL. Suicide Silence is a great band and they are amazing live.

  67. K.... J....

    0:39 - 0:43 just turned me on a bit

  68. z.... ....

    you watch horor movies ? I listen death metal.

  69. a.... ....

    nile>cc hands down

  70. S.... ....

    It's an opinion first off, the words 'personally' and 'think' should have tipped you off to that. So what if I think CC is more brutal, what are you going to do about it? Bitch on the internet? Also I would like to know when Cannibal Corpse became 'emo'. Thank you DinkyDoeDoe for at least showing some civility in your reply, unlike IvanaStuffurasshole. If Nile is supposed to be the 'Thinking Man's Death Metal' he's a disgrace.

  71. I.... ....

    you are such a fag , how is CC more brutal than Nile , it makes no sonse. Fuck you emo fag.

  72. J.... J....

    watching a vid isn't a good estimation of ones music taste;p A lot people come bitch around specifically at vids they don't like.

  73. f.... a....

    nile is more technical than cc, but they both could be argued as equally brutal, however i think nile is better overall

  74. G.... ....

    if u liked Nile .. u will like that band too

    Scarab-Death metal band from egypt

    /watch?v=hU6JDv_Eeeo

  75. S.... ....

    I personally like CC better because I think they are heavier and more brutal, but am I saying I don't like Nile,fuck no! I 'm watching the video aren't I?

  76. B.... G....

    I wouldn't go so far as to say that he sucks. Not at all, but all of Nile's drummers do beat him hands down.

  77. o.... ....

    don't you just love the intro

  78. A.... E....

    I NEED this album

  79. A.... E....

    what you say is 100% true man

  80. t.... ....

    Nile's drummers are way more talented and diverse than anything Cannibal Corpse ever had for a drummer.

  81. D.... A....

    In fact, Nile and Cannibal Corpse have toured together many times and get along just fine. And lets face it, both bands crush the shit out emo guitar players..

  82. B.... G....

    Nile's my favorite band and this is a great album, but CC is still relatively good in comparison.

  83. L.... H....

    Nile is one of my favorite bands, Hails from Argentina

  84. J.... l....

    true dat

  85. J.... l....

    brootal

  86. U.... ....

    lol, this is what i call technical. try to headbang to it... it's going to be hard as hell because the tempo changes every now and then :D
