|
From the cradle of silence and of light |
|
It took a birth in human blood - angels cry - |
|
To the ages of violence and of hate |
|
To explore the left hand path |
|
I came alive |
|
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold |
|
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control |
|
Flame of the |
|
Nile, fire in the darkness |
|
To swallow the light |
|
Behold the ghost of a god |
|
God from the |
|
Nile, eternally roaming |
|
To swallow the light |
|
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, |
|
Pharaoh, pharaoh, no! [solo: Jens] |
|
To the world of spirits he's sailing on and on |
|
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal |
|
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere |
|
Far away from his grave, |
|
Seth is free |
|
Roaming through ages |
|
Begetting advice for your kings, yow... |
|
Leading the stages |
|
Of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no... [repeat chorus] [solo: Jens] |
|
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near |
|
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber |
|
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage |
|
He's a jester of the court |
|
The wise man died and the seance went on |
|
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber |
|
In dreams of a masterplan |
|
For a billion parrots in a big cage |
|
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness |
|
You don't realize, afraid in the haze |
|
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare |
|
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into |
|
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries [solo: Jens] |
|
I guide your way |
|
I make you stay alive |
|
My servants taught you know how to survive |
|
The way of light is food for your soul |
|
But it's your belly that's taken control |
|
No guiding light would shine anymore |
|
It's just the red god replacing the core |
|
He'll rise again to open up the gate |
|
We have to learn for our future, our fate... [solo: Both] [repeat Chorus] |
|
The ghost of a god... |
|
Slave to the pyramid... |
