Necropolis
[Verse 1]
Adrift - nomadic men
Towards the land of no return
To seek the knowledge of the gods
A distant journey
Through the sun-baked deserts
Where sandstone monuments are towering
[Verse 2]
Above the dunes the solar storms erupt
Into the esoteric realms of day and night
Across red land
Though scalding sand
Yearning in the hearts of men
[Chorus]
Above the tombs
The city of the dead
Necropolis
[Verse 3]
Into the valley of their kin
They seek Elysium for all
Death is a mere phase of life
Depicted on the walls
Funerary scripts depraved by time
The epitaph of fallen kings
[Verse 4]
"Go tell the gods
A fallen hero here within
Ascended to another life."
"Upon this throne
Of stone and bone
This kingdom I will reign alone."
[Chorus]
Above the tombs
The city of the dead
Necropolis
Above the tombs
The city of the dead
Necropolis
[Post-Chorus]
Necropolis
Necropolis
Necropolis
[Kickass Instrumental Outro]
