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

Behold the ghost of a god

God from the Nile, eternally roaming

pharaoh, oh no!

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

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