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
Dm F
To explore the left hand path I came alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G Am G
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold

My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control
[Chorus]
Dm F C
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
A#
To swallow the light

Behold the ghost of a god
Dm F C
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
A#
To swallow the light
A A/C# Dm C Am A#
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
Dm C Am A#
pharaoh, oh no!
[Verse 2]
Fb
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on
Dm F
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
Fb
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
Dm F
Far away from his grave, Seth is free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am G Am G
Roaming through ages, begetting advice for your kings, yow...

Leading the stages of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no...

Dm Am
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
C G
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
Dm Am
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
C G
He's a jester on the count
Dm Am
The wise man died and the seance went on
C G
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
Dm Am
In dreams of a masterplan
C G
For a billion parrots in a big cage
Dm Am C G
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
Dm Am C G
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
Dm Am C G
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
Dm Am C G
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
A# Csus4 C
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

But it's your belly that's taken control

We have to learn for our future, our fate...
