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

To swallow the light

To swallow the light

Gm Dm
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
F C
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
Gm Dm
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
F C
He's a jester on the count
Gm Dm
The wise man died and the seance went on
F C
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
Gm Dm
In dreams of a masterplan
F C
For a billion parrots in a big cage
Gm Dm F C
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
Gm Dm F C
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
Gm Dm F C
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
Gm Dm F C
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
D# Fsus4 F
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

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