The Pharaoh Lyrics - Edguy

[Music & Lyrics: Sammet] 

From the cradle of silence and of light 

It took a birth in human blood - angels cry - 

To the ages of violence and of hate 

To explore the left hand path I came alive 

Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold 

My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control 

Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness 

To swallow the light 

Behold the ghost of a god 

God from the Nile, eternally roaming 

To swallow the light 

Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, 

Pharaoh, pharaoh, no! 

[solo: Jens] 

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 

Far away from his grave, Seth is free 

Roaming through ages 

Begetting advice for your kings, yow... 

Leading the stages 

Of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no... 

[repeat chorus] 

[solo: Jens] 

Don't you see that it's coming, it's near 

The wise man screamed in the noble chamber 

Just a parrot in a rich man's cage 

He's a jester on the count 

The wise man died and the seance went on 

And the red one reigned in the noble chamber 

In dreams of a masterplan 

For a billion parrots in a big cage 

Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness 

You don't realize, afraid in the haze 

You point at the man that grins in your nightmare 

And don't realize the mirror you gaze into 

You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries 

[solo: Jens] 

I guide your way I make you stay alive 

My servants taught you know how to survive 

The way of light is food for your soul 

But it's your belly that's taken control 

No guiding light would shine anymore 

It's just the red god replacing the core 

He'll rise again to open up the gate 

We have to learn for our future, our fate... 

[solo: Both] 

[repeat Chorus] 

The ghost of a god... 

Slave to the pyramid...
