Wails of great agony,
Pierces the sky's heart,
Aset searches for her Ausar,
Lost somewhere in this world.

Their cruel brother has killed him,
And set him afloat on the mighty tides,
When he felt it would not suffice,
He butchered him into fourteen parts.

Her sister follows her as a shadow follows the mass,
She left her husband and stands by her sister,
As they fight a grotesque war,
Against a terrible predicament of fate.

Beloved from the womb were they,
Now lost from the other in pursuit,
Of a throne which seems so unworthy,
For what life is life without the beloved?

The Nile bleeds in the goddess's pain,
Her sorrow cannot be borne to be seen,
It gently safeguards the god's remains,
Waiting for her to take their claim.

Years and years of relentless search,
She finds thirteen pieces of her love,
The fourteenth has been devoured by a fish,
Whom she curses in a fit of rage.

With her sister, she brings the remains,
Of her husband to a secret place,
Hidden in the plains of Abydos,
And resurrects him with her prowess.

Defying death and revived into life,
Ausar descents into the depths of Duat,
And is crowned the lord of death,
Who brings forth life and takes it away.

While Aset remains in the world of the living,
Her womb now bearing Ausar's seed,
The scales of power are about to topple,
A revolution she contains within.
