| 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 sailing 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 of the court | |
| 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... |
