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...
