	作曲 : Kolias, Sanders, Wade
	The necromancers of Giza
	A cult of reanimators
	Concerned with interrogation of the long dead
	Corpses who may be revived and made to talk
	And describe the contents of rare books
	And gold hidden in the earth
	Although they are often reluctant to reveal their secrets
	And must be encouraged with fire and blade
	A corpse chosen for resurrection
	Is cut into parts of convenient size
	Boiled in clean water
	Linen strips of mummification are removed
	And the skull and bones liquefied
	And boiled until all water is gone
	What remains in the bottom
	Is a white crystalline substance
	That may be carried in the palms of two hands
	This white powder contains the essential salts
	Of the man whose corpse was boiled
	It is from this powder that the living body may be reconstituted
	And made to serve as a house for the soul
	Which is called back into its former flesh by words of power
	It is a great shock to the soul
	To tear it back from its resting place and reanimate it
	The resurrected are often insane and scream ceaselessly or dash themselves into walls
	If the salts are contaminated with the essence of other living beings
	When the mummy has been the breeding place of vermin
	The revitalization of the salts produces something
	That is part man and part whatever gnawed his corpse
	These horrors lack the faculty of speech
	Or their speech is crazed and bestial
	And must be immediately slain
	For though the memory of the man may remain intact
	The verminous parts of his reanimated nature
	Inhibit his human expression
	Those who have served their purpose are killed
	By strangulation with a cord around the neck
	And their bodies burned
	Their ashes gathered and cast into the Nile
	Where the currents carry them to sea
	(solo: Karl)
	(solo: Dallas)
