Eb
From the cradle of silence and of light
C#mE
It took a birth in human blood - angels cry –
Eb
To the ages of violence and of hate
C#mE
To explore the left hand path I came alive
[Pre-Chorus]
G#mF#G#mF#
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
C#mAC#mG#
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control
[Chorus]
C#mEB
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
A
To swallow the light
G#G#/C
Behold the ghost of a god
C#mEB
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
A
To swallow the light
G#G#/CC#mBG#mA
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
C#mBG#mA
pharaoh, oh no!
[Verse 2]
Eb
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on
C#mE
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
Eb
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
C#mE
Far away from his grave, Seth is free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G#mF#G#mF#
Roaming through ages, begetting advice for your kings, yow...
C#mAC#mG#
Leading the stages of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no...
[Chorus]
C#mEB
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
A
To swallow the light
G#G#/C
Behold the ghost of a god
C#mEB
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
A
To swallow the light
G#G#/CC#mBG#mA
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
C#mBG#mA
pharaoh, oh no!
[Bridge]
C#mGC#mGC#mG#m
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
BF#
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
C#mG#m
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
BF#
He's a jester on the count
C#mG#m
The wise man died and the seance went on
BF#
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
C#mG#m
In dreams of a masterplan
BF#
For a billion parrots in a big cage
C#mG#mBF#
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
C#mG#mBF#
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
C#mG#mBF#
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
C#mG#mBF#
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
ABsus4B
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries
[Bridge 2]

I guide your away I make you stay alive
EG#m
My servants taught you know how to survive
C#mABC#m
The way of light is food for your soul
EG#mEm
But it's your belly that's taken control
CDEm
No guiding light would shine anymore
CDEm
It's just the red god replacing the core
CDEm
He'll rise again to open up the gate
GD
We have to learn for our future, our fate...

[Chorus]
C#mEB
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
A
To swallow the light

Behold the ghost of a god

God from the Nile, eternally roaming
A
To swallow the light
G#G#/C
Behold the ghost of a god
C#mEB
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
A
To swallow the light
G#G#/C
Behold Slave to the pyramid
C#mEB
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
A
To swallow the light
G#G#/CC#mBG#mA
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
C#mBG#mA
pharaoh, oh no!
