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...
