[Verse]
Eb
From the cradle of silence and of light
C#m E
It took a birth in human blood - angels cry –
Eb
To the ages of violence and of hate
C#m E
To explore the left hand path I came alive
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m F# G#m F#
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
C#m A C#m G#
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control
[Chorus]
C#m E B
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
A
To swallow the light
G# G#/C
Behold the ghost of a god
C#m E B
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
A
To swallow the light
G# G#/C C#m B G#m A
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
C#m B G#m A
pharaoh, oh no!
[Verse 2]
Eb
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on
C#m E
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
Eb
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
C#m E
Far away from his grave, Seth is free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G#m F# G#m F#
Roaming through ages, begetting advice for your kings, yow...
C#m A C#m G#
Leading the stages of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no...
[Chorus]
C#m E B
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
A
To swallow the light
G# G#/C
Behold the ghost of a god
C#m E B
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
A
To swallow the light
G# G#/C C#m B G#m A
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
C#m B G#m A
pharaoh, oh no!
[Bridge]
C#m G C#m G
C#m G#m
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
B F#
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
C#m G#m
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
B F#
He's a jester on the count
C#m G#m
The wise man died and the seance went on
B F#
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
C#m G#m
In dreams of a masterplan
B F#
For a billion parrots in a big cage
C#m G#m B F#
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
C#m G#m B F#
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
C#m G#m B F#
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
C#m G#m B F#
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
A Bsus4 B
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

I guide your away I make you stay alive
E G#m
My servants taught you know how to survive
C#m A B C#m
The way of light is food for your soul
E G#m Em
But it's your belly that's taken control
C D Em
No guiding light would shine anymore
C D Em
It's just the red god replacing the core
C D Em
He'll rise again to open up the gate
G D
We have to learn for our future, our fate...
