Emerging from the shadow of the moon  
the Aten takes his place among the gods.

Young Tutankhaten does his best to swoon,  
drops to his knees in thanks.

His father's squads are jealous in the guarding of their law,  
but secretly, the prince does not believe. How could this be the god of gods? He saw that Khonsu did eclipse him as the eve wore on.

Are any of them gods? Or not? More likely they're the  
workings of a clock.

The prince knows it is heresy. The thought persists  
however, as his father's flock beats heads down on the  
granite, grateful for the Aten:

May he rule forever more.
