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

Bm F#m
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
A E
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
Bm F#m
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
A E
He's a jester on the count
Bm F#m
The wise man died and the seance went on
A E
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
Bm F#m
In dreams of a masterplan
A E
For a billion parrots in a big cage
Bm F#m A E
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
Bm F#m A E
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
Bm F#m A E
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
Bm F#m A E
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
G Asus4 A
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

I guide your away I make you stay alive
D F#m
My servants taught you know how to survive
Bm G A Bm
The way of light is food for your soul
D F#m Dm
But it's your belly that's taken control
A# C Dm
No guiding light would shine anymore
A# C Dm
It's just the red god replacing the core
A# C Dm
He'll rise again to open up the gate
F C
We have to learn for our future, our fate...
