Hidden Lord (Amun-Ra)
03:30

Day has passed, horizon falls
The sun descends, light covers all
We are blinded by your light
Yet in that which blinds we're given sight
Chorus:
Silent Lord Whose Words Are Blessed
Hidden One, yet manifest
In the gold that touches everything
Amun-Ra, Glorious King!
Brilliant Ram, who guards and guides
To the shining hour in which we find
We are so much more than what we know
True strength found in your heart's eternal glow
(Chorus x2)

Hare's Arrow (Wenut)
02:30
|

Fly like a bolt of an arrow, Lady
Swift as the fleet footed hare
Run and seek out that which threatens your lands
Undeterred by the heat, race through wind-tossed sands
And find our fearful hearts there, oh Lady
Find our fearful hearts there
Strike with the flash of the serpent, Lady
Driven by call to defend
Seizing your spear you shall seek and take aim
Those who harmed now in turn have become hunted game
And preserve those fearing the end, oh Lady
Preserve those fearing the end
Open the passage to truth, my Lady
Guide those who wish to move on
You in whose name comes the passing of days
Lead us forth from the memories which bind us in place
For with time darkness gives way to dawn, oh Lady
Darkness gives way to the dawn

White shines above
Red shines below
Shades on the crown of the glorious king
Challenged to prove
His place on the throne
Lifting crook and flail on golden wings
White from the south
Red from the north
Kingdoms united within one form
The child of Wesir
Has shown His great worth
King who withstands the fiercest of storms
White of the feather
Red of the heart
Guardian of those who seek out His aid
Sing praises forever
For He lives in Ma'at
Eternity's ruler, in whom glory is made.

Open the Way (Wepwawet)
03:01
|

Chorus:
Wepwawet, wep em wawet!
Wepwawet, wep em wawet!
Wepwawet, wep em wawet!
Open the way!
Wepwawet, wep em wawet!
Wepwawet, wep em wawet!
Wepwawet, wep em wawet!
Open the way!
Running on blindly
through lives we're all living
trying to climb over walls unforgiving
how can we win the rules keep a changin'
triumphs and sorrows the paths rearranging
the greatest adventurer might still seize the day
if she calls to the jackal please open the way
(Chorus)
I can dream of the goal but the route is unclear
there's a maze of my problems between there and here
nothing can rip through the troubles I've seen
I'm in need of a great blade to craft a path clean
and when you need a warrior to tear through the fray
you reach out to the jackal to open the way
(Chorus)
If you've got inspiration but need words to say
speak next to the jackal, He'll open the way
Lacking for comfort you pray and you pray
well pray next to the jackal, He'll open the way
Yeah you've got all you need it's a blessed fine day
then give thanks to the jackal He's opened the way
(Chorus)

Raise your fist up to resist and beat your chest in honor
Of the one who guards the sun from all destruction
He with greatest power in the barque of millions
Overthrows the snake so we might wake and live on
Embrace the storm
And though burning sands will fly
The light returns
Lord of the Northern Sky (x2)
He holds the weight of worlds
On shoulders of the one forever blamed
A brother’s life the burden borne
A death forever bound within His name
He knows the shame you wear
That thunderous pulse in your chest
Scream out, release despair
“Don’t hold to your regrets—“
Hail to the Red Lord
Whose strength never ends
Speak fire to our hearts
That our lives we can defend.
He of Twofold Strength who travels lengths across the desert
Guarding the oases, sacred places where all may find
Friends among outsiders, truth providers, who speak their tales
And become believers, fellow seekers of the
Lord of thunder, rips asunder all that stands between us
And the goals we fight for (makes the night sky shake)
Claim your choice and raise your voice along with He who roars
You scream your pride, and stand beside the strongest of the gods
Embrace the storm
And though burning sands will fly
The light returns
Lord of the Northern Sky (x2)

Familiar Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
In 2011, a soprano who loved epic fantasy and role playing found a composer who loved Star Trek and gaming. As the pair came to know each other, the composer's fascination with the intricacies of prog rock and metal wove its way into the soprano's passion for Irish music and filk. Some three years later, Aaron and Kaitlyn perform as Familiar, their marvelous musical co-creation! ... more
