Verse
F
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
D#m F#
To explore the left hand path I came alive
[Pre-Chorus]
A#m G# A#m G#
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
D#m B D#m A#
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control
[Chorus]
D#m F# C#
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
B
To swallow the light
A# A#/D
Behold the ghost of a god

God from the Nile, eternally roaming

To swallow the light
A# A#/D D#m C# A#m B
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
D#m C# A#m B
pharaoh, oh no!
[Verse 2]
F
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on
D#m F#
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
F
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
D#m F#
Far away from his grave, Seth is free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A#m G# A#m G#
Roaming through ages, begetting advice for your kings, yow...
D#m B D#m A#
Leading the stages of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no...
[Chorus]

Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
C# G#
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
D#m A#m
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
C# G#
He's a jester on the count
D#m A#m
The wise man died and the seance went on
C# G#
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
D#m A#m
In dreams of a masterplan
C# G#
For a billion parrots in a big cage
D#m A#m C# G#
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
D#m A#m C# G#
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
D#m A#m C# G#
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
D#m A#m C# G#
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
B C#sus4 C#
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

I guide your away I make you stay alive

My servants taught you know how to survive

The way of light is food for your soul
F# A#m F#m
But it's your belly that's taken control
D E F#m
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...
