Although my body maintains its shape…
the inside is forever changed.

My body washed by the Nile, wine, and spices…
the cleansing of life.

My liver, lungs, stomach, intestines extracted…
a portal to the inner workings,
the ultimate preservation.

Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, Qebehsenuef…
Gods worshipped in life on Earth,
watch over my body and soul as I crossover,
and protect my organs in the afterlife.

Only my heart remains in my body…
Now wrapped in hundreds of yards of linen strips,
keeping a pure soul intact.

If my body and heart permit…
my soul will live forever.

Although my body maintains its shape…
the inside is forever changed.

Bandaged but immortal.
