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!      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...      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         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         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...      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 ghost of a god...      Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness   To swallow the light   Behold slave to the pyramid...   God from the Nile, eternally roaming   To swallow the light   Behold the spirit of a pharaoh,   Pharaoh, pharaoh, pharaoh
