Your eyes are open wide
Staring deep into mine
I grip the dagger’s hilt
Slipping the knife inside
Thrusting black blade
Gasping last breath
Reaching sweet death
Rapture
Gripped by delirium
Morbid elysium
Taking another’s life
Am I reptilian?
Savage bloodshed
Your blood flows out
My blood goes cold
Brother
See what you’ve made me do
Stripping this life from you
All for this holy drug
That I need more than you
Know this you’ll live
You’ll live once more
Once more in death
In death
In the throes of egomania
“He who watches” truly watches me
With yellow eyes floating in The River Black
As I seize your bloody corpse, and drag you to your tomb
Drag you to your tomb
This yawning chasm in the earth,
Once opened by Ptah, has summoned me
Dear brother you won’t need
That last fix of sweet green
Devoured by darkness
I’ll offer your carcass to Sobek
As an advocate of the afterlife
This is justified human sacrifice
Know this
You’ll live
Once more
In death
(LEAD: C. EGAN)
Voices echo in my mind
Calling me towards these swirling shadows
Ancient figures in the mire
Beckon me to follow
There’s not far left to go
Dear departed desperado
Ba and Ka shall reunite
In Se-akh I will manifest your rebirth
As an advocate of the afterlife
This is justified human sacrifice
