"The book of coming forth by day" was the name the ancient Egyptians used for the Book of the Dead. 

This show is about death, resurrection, and the life eternal. It's for everyone. Everyone dies. But if you're reading this, you haven't died yet. Let's honour the dead and our brief, sweet lives.

Un jour… la mort – lyrics in English
