The Eye of Ra

lyrics

(the Prophet)

Hear me, hear me,
people of the sand,
let me tell you
of the one who wears the mask,
one of many deceivers,
centuries of godlike tyrants.
Your offerings are made to
temples full of hoax and lies.

Listen, people,
time to arise!
I'm gonna tell you
It is time to break the chains
of superstitious slavery.
Your king's just greed and violence,
a vision in deep desert,
a golden light to blind your eyes.

Don't prey the jester, don't call him god,
don't build his glory with your own blood.

(the Dictator)

Who's the fool under my sun?
Who's the preacher? Who's the one?
They're my servants, they're my sons,
they need my guide to sail in time.
In eternal night I am their only light.

(the Messiah)

Unbeliever! Damn this one!
Don't tell gods how to choose a son!
Men, be faithful, save your souls,
there's no sky to ask for peace
when god is peace and god has been denied.

(the Prophet)

Don't prey the jester, don't call him god,
don't build his glory with your own blood.

(the Dictator, the Messiah)

What will enlighten the deepest dark
when you will blind the Eye of Ra?

(Chorus)

Children of the Nile,
born in a dry land,
by the will of god,
from the tears he shed.

Sons of the divine,
dust we're in his hand.
Don't provoke his wrath,
praise him, do not stand.

(the Dictator, the Messiah)

Face me, sinner, challenge god,
prove my power, spill my blood!
Let me see how brave you are!
Anubi's waiting, place your heart,
contemplate me and be prepared to die.

(the Prophet)

Don't you fear him,
look at his face!
Is this blood, here,
flowing out of his veins?
Time to choose new divinity,
save from decay your future.
Stand up and pray no longer
'cause the time has come to rise!

(the Dictator, the Messiah)

What will enlighten the deepest dark
when you will blind the Eye of Ra?

(Chorus, the Prophet)

Children of the Nile,
born in a dry land,
could it be that god
never saw this sand?

Sons of the divine?
Slaves of a false myth?
Just behind that mask
the truth is at hand.

(the Sailor)

Listen to the Prophet, the words he said,
leave onto the dunes the chains of faith.
Rise against the power, see his face,
tear down the walls and build a new age.

(the Dictator, the Messiah)

Don't believe the liar,
Don't you waste this reign.
The fool is simply leading you in centuries of pain.

(the Prophet)

Follow me, follow your destiny,
fulfill the fate, be the right race.

(Chorus)

Not a god,
only flesh and blood.
Not a god,
only flesh and blood.
Not a god,
only flesh and blood...

(the Prophet)

Since that fire many centuries are gone.
Humankind keeps on turning on the wheel of time.
They're about to reach the sky but they...
they don't even know how to fly.
