When you're home
Tawaret
I used to think we lived at the top of the world
When the world was nothing but Egypt's map
And every night
The barque would pass by my place.
The path is dimmer now
Right?
I used to think the only limit was the sky
When the world was nothing but Egypt's map
And my thoughts took shape
By that fiery lake…
Can I remind you of what it was like
at the top of the world?
Listen to me.
We begin July
With a stop at a festival so vibrant.
You and Bast would go every summer.
Sometimes I'd attend
You'd regard me as a friend
Still blinded by your siren.
But she'd give you hell.
She gave you hell.
Yeah, she gave you hell.
I remember well.
You used to work for her father before
You got your limo.
That's where you met me!
We were always in constant trouble.
And Ra would act all snide,
but he'd let it slide.
Those days we were full of pride.
Life was easier then.
Bes, everything is easier when you're here.
The nights are a little kinder when you're here.
I wish you could see
That the days were clearer
When you were truly here or
Is it me?
Maybe it's just me…
We should probably go, but let me tell you all I know.
The sun is setting and the light is getting low.
If we had more time, what could have happened?
Maybe…
Or maybe not.
Or we could have given us a shot.
You know, it's getting hot.
I got a perfect shady spot
A little ways away that oughta
Cool us down.
It reminds me of how
Back in Sais when it darkened
We were hanging out on the temple wall and
We watched the people do what they do
Some boys coming home from studies,
An embalmer done for the day with wrapping mummies.
I watched you smile
As people walked on by
They walked on by.
Kemet's people:
No pare! Sigue, sigue!
No pare! Sigue, sigue!
No pare! Sigue, sigue!
No pare! Sigue, sigue!
No pare! Sigue, sigue!
No pare! Sigue, sigue!
No pare! Sigue, sigue!
No pare sigue!
Tawaret:
Back at home
Oh, the summer nights were cooler
Back at home!
Back where we belong.
This was back when I was strong.
What went wrong?
Often I'd imagine what would have happened
If the House of Life never made us go.
How would Ma'at be now if most of her gods have never been forgotten?
If Kemet still belonged to us and our people?
My people!
I feel like all my life, I've tried to find the answer
Working here, watching over everyone, doing all I can.
I tried to believe I can fix them on my own
But I look at you and finally see
Exactly where I'm supposed to be.
So please don't be mad at me for showing Sadie the way.
I guess I just want to say:
I've been full of hope all day.
Now listen to me!
If the spell works and you come back
Bes, please believe
That once you're whole again
You're gonna change the world and then
I won't even remember when
I felt alone
At home
Welcome home
When you're here with me
Welcome home
I used to think we lived at the top of the world!
