Lyrics for Egypt

Endless sands of Alnantees Etched in gold, a city lost in time And from the seas, this child speaks of things unseen Before the king, the teller of the rhyme Five align (five align) Hidden in the word a message locked in time (Hidden in the word a message locked in time) Find the key (find the key) It draws the final line Between what is and what (it draws the final line) Should never be Gaze in these eyes, my child, and see Here by my side you're destined to be Fears in the night flee with the sun If we are one Kingdom of gold I lay at your feet Ruler of time and space you will be Rivers of truth forever will run If we are one From the ruins of Atlantis The lord of night rises from the sands He seeks the one, his serpent's tail and twisted tongue The bringer of war, destroyer of the land Five align (five align) Hidden in the word a message locked in time (Hidden in the word a message locked in time) Find the key (find the key) It draws the final line Between what is and what (it draws the final line) Should never be Rise, my minions From within the deep abyss My disciples Thunder this necropolis Gaze in these eyes, my child, and see Here by my side you're destined to be Fears in the night chasing the sun Now we are one Kingdom of gold now lay at my feet Ruler of time and space I will be Rivers of lies forever will run Now we are one
