From the cradle of silence and of light

To the ages of violence and of hate
F#m A
To explore the left hand path I came alive
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m B C#m B
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
F#m D F#m C#
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control

Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness

To swallow the light

Ab
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on

Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal

Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
F#m A
Far away from his grave, Seth is free
[Pre-Chorus 2]

Roaming through ages, begetting advice for your kings, yow...

F#m C#m
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
E B
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
F#m C#m
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
E B
He's a jester on the count
F#m C#m
The wise man died and the seance went on
E B
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
F#m C#m
In dreams of a masterplan
E B
For a billion parrots in a big cage
F#m C#m E B
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
F#m C#m E B
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
F#m C#m E B
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
F#m C#m E B
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
D Esus4 E
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

He'll rise again to open up the gate
C G
We have to learn for our future, our fate...
