Lyrics
Tutankhamen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As the sun sets beyond the pyramid
To greet me with its rays
I place my hand on my forehead
To see your chariots' flames
Watch me kneel before you
Hear the cats meowing in the temple
They yearn the milk you cascaded
As I yearn your promised treasure
Treasure of
Tutankhamen
I am the one it is
Take me with you
Through the stargate
To the valley of the kings
Sacrifice me
Tutankhamen
And let me be your queen
Take me
Tonight and always
We'll breed to fill all earth
Three milleniums it took me to guard your rest
Your slumber in mighty Phoenix's nest
But tonight the darkness in the tomb has perished
For Carter has come to free my beloved
Treasure of...
Sacrifice me...
