Verse
D
From the cradle of silence and of light
Cm D#
It took a birth in human blood - angels cry –
D
To the ages of violence and of hate
Cm D#
To explore the left hand path I came alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm F Gm F
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
Cm G# Cm G
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control
[Chorus]
Cm D# A#
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
G#
To swallow the light
G G/B
Behold the ghost of a god
Cm D# A#
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
G#
To swallow the light
G G/B Cm A# Gm G#
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
Cm A# Gm G#
pharaoh, oh no!
[Verse 2]
D
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on
Cm D#
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
D
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
Cm D#
Far away from his grave, Seth is free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Gm F Gm F
Roaming through ages, begetting advice for your kings, yow...
Cm G# Cm G
Leading the stages of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no...
[Chorus]

Cm Gm
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
A# F
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
Cm Gm
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
A# F
He's a jester on the count
Cm Gm
The wise man died and the seance went on
A# F
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
Cm Gm
In dreams of a masterplan
A# F
For a billion parrots in a big cage
Cm Gm A# F
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
Cm Gm A# F
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
Cm Gm A# F
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
Cm Gm A# F
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
G# A#sus4 A#
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
Cm G# A# Cm
The way of light is food for your soul
D# Gm D#m
But it's your belly that's taken control
B C# D#m
No guiding light would shine anymore
B C# D#m
It's just the red god replacing the core
B C# D#m
He'll rise again to open up the gate
F# C#
We have to learn for our future, our fate...
