About Bastet Of The East:

Bastet Of The East is a song by Vampyrouss which first appeared as a B-side on the 2006 single "Reflections Of The Past". This recording of both tracks was compiled on the October 2006 demo "Chapter One". A rehearsal video version of the song was recorded the following Halloween in 2007.


The song was finally re-recorded properly for the 2017 album "Compendium Vampyrica" utilising the linear structure of the original demo version but enhanced with more exciting instrumental flurishes that had been developed as a live song over the years.


Bastet Of The East appeared along with the whole Vampyrouss back catalogue on the "Barely (A)Live Rehearsal" release in 2021.

The faltering flame, it wanes before my eyes

As darkness finally conquers Lady Bastet's Holy shrine

A grey day overhead as her death is mourned

This betrayal of the Gods whom took away her refined form

Will raise the wrath of slaves taken in by her dark charms

Wresting 'twixt the fabrics which kept her men from taking to arms

A Holy war now beckons like a plague upon the Nile

With Deathlike crooked fingers pointing scythes unto the sky

Unto the skies...


Goddess of the flame no longer flickers fervent eyes

The Lady of the East no more with the Sun shall rise

Our perfumed protector, fallen to protect her kin

Shall see her legend carried on a War of Deicidal Sin

In her name and against her will, the powers shall be slain

"For glory!" and "for Egypt!" and to ease the pain

To ease the pain...
