lyrics

The kings of the sand spat a curse upon this land
Divinity did revile their deeds
A pox of stone to all that defied the throne
The gods did call upon the priests to intercede

Met at the gates, they stood to actuate
And quell the chattel poised to rebel
Millions lament at the base of the monument
Thus did the priests unleash the spell

As serpents feast on scavenging beasts
Awaken the divine constructs of the architect
Obsidian guardians bound by mystic rites
Waiting for the sovereigns to resurrect

(Hey, hey, hey) Heed the call of the ancient lords
(Hey, hey, hey) Scorched skeletons of the slaves
(Hey, hey, hey) The scepter and the sword
Unworthy to the sons of the highborn graves
The filth of the world will be purged by the Heirophant

The blood was strewn and coursed through the spiral runes
Insurgent survivors turned to stone
The king could not see, petrified by the victory
The dire portents still unknown

The Heirophant did warn of the ash and the coming storm
The doom that crept across the dunes
The wrath of the dunes bound all in limestone skin
And buried Pharaoh and subjects in a peasant's tomb

As serpents feast on scavenging beasts
Awaken the divine constructs of the architect
Obsidian guardians bound by mystic rites
Waiting for the sovereigns to resurrect

(Hey, hey, hey) Heed the call of the ancient lords
(Hey, hey, hey) Scorched skeletons of the slaves
(Hey, hey, hey) The scepter and the sword
Unworthy to the sons of the highborn graves
The filth of the world will be purged by the Heirophant
