Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb Lyrics - World Party

Do you find yourself in darkness? 

Do you find yourself in light? 

That's a question I want answered 

Could you answer me tonight? 

Could you give me some directions 

In this cave of after life? 

Do I struggle with my conscience 

As it struggles with my life? 

In this blackness that surrounds me 

But doesn't give me any room 

There's so much that I forget 

Is that the curse of the mummy's tomb? 

We're all the bold explorer 

We all seek gold and fame 

Out asking for directions 

To the house that knows no pain 

And the casual traveler wonders 

Who led us all astray? 

As he leans against the bar 

And watches children play 

In the blackness that surrounds them 

Where there's never any room 

But he's following his own quest 

For the curse of the mummy's tomb 

There are riches here you cannot sell 

So value them we don't 

There are spies at every corner 

Please, help us they say "Won't" 

There are special traps of wisdom 

Devised to seize the fool 

To entomb him with the mummy's gold 

There are demons who shout "Duel" 

But I'm too busy with my conscience 

I'm too busy with my gloom 

Can you rid me of the fever? 

That's the curse of the mummy's tomb 

We started out together 

Our expeditions linked 

But every student has a theory 

The best he's ever thinked 

And our vanity betrays us 

And our nerve, it disappears 

After crossing the dark threshold 

Into loneliness and tears 

Could I travel into caves unknown 

Hear the dullest thud of doom? 

Can I wander noisy silence? 

That's the curse of the mummy's tomb 

Buried deep within the mountain 

In the valley of the king 

There's a passage way that leads there 

Where the wind whistles and sings 

Of a time so long forgotten 

It seems like yesterday 

When the queen was in her palace 

And the king was on his way 

To the bosom of his family 

To the holy golden womb 

Well, was that love? 

That's the curse of the mummy's tomb 

If you want to know what happened here 

There is writing on the wall 

There are strange signs and ornaments 

That'll really tell you all 

But they're easy to misunderstand 

You have to tell the truth 

That's how you find the secret 

Of her eternal youth 

There are curses that are blessings 

There are clues in every room 

It's up to you now 

That's the curse of the mummy's tomb 

Nobody there to help you 

As the apparition nears 

Nobody loves like she did 

Could take away your fears 

Was this what you were afraid of 

Life without a queen? 

Forget it just remember 

This life is but a dream 

And you know that hope's returning 

Like a new bride to the groom 

There's no curse 

Just a mummy's tomb 

Mummy's tomb, mummy's tomb
