[Intro]
(Sound of a single harp string, then a deep, echoing gong)
I was betrayed
I was drowned in the Nile
But the green reed grows from the rot
(Sarcophagus closes)
[Chorus]
Wrapped in white, skin the color of the tomb
Osiris speaks, dispelling all the gloom
I hold the crook and flail, the kingdom is mine
Judge of the dead, ruler of the endless line
Green is my crown, for I am reborn
Every soul that enters passes through my thorn
I am the silence, I am the breath you hold
Lord of the West, more valuable than gold
[Verse 1]
My brother's envy, a coffin in the sea
Isis wept, she came and rescued me
Piece by piece, she stitched my broken form
I woke up cold, inside the coming storm
I don't walk the earth, I rule the silent halls
Where the memory of your name falls
My verdict is final, my balance is true
What you did in life, I bring back to you
[Chorus]
Wrapped in white, skin the color of the tomb
Osiris speaks, dispelling all the gloom
I hold the crook and flail, the kingdom is mine
Judge of the dead, ruler of the endless line
Green is my crown, for I am reborn
Every soul that enters passes through my thorn
I am the silence, I am the breath you hold
Lord of the West, more valuable than gold
[Verse 2]
Anubis brings the hearts, I place them on the scale
Is your life a truth or a corrupted tale?
If your tongue is heavy with a vicious lie
Ammut waits to tear you from the sky
But if you are light, as the feather of Maat
You will walk the fields, you will feed the cat
I am the cycle, the end is just the start
I hold the key to every beating heart
[Bridge / Breakdown]
(Sound of wind in a tomb)
(Slow, heavy cello and 808 build-up)
The river took me...
The pieces scattered...
But the seed...
Always... breaks...
(Ad-lib: ISIS! RESURRECT!)
(Massive orchestral drop with distorted bass)
[Outro]
Lord of Duat...
Green one...
Eternal sleep...
Is just a door...
(Choir fades into the sound of dripping water)
