Hymn Against Ammit

“Beneath the lilies, Ammit stirs – all flesh and teeth and hunger. Orange flames shoot from the corners of her mouth. Beware the Eater of Hearts. Beware the crocodile, lion, hippo. Beware the snake among the white lotuses. Turn back, Ammit, you Robber of Memory. Turn back, Oblivion, Kidnapper of Dreams, Pirate of All Emotion. Tear not my heart from me. No heart shall be given to you. No heart shall be eaten. No heart shall beat with my thoughts inside you. No hands shall pluck out my eyes. No twisted fingers shall pierce my red, red heart. Oh round and pointy-nosed Ammit, pry your fingers from my heart.”
