[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 away 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...
