The Pharaoh

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,
To the world of spirits
He's sailling 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...
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 on the count
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
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...
The ghost of a god...
Slave to the pyramid...
