Eb
From the cradle of silence and of light
                         C#m     E
It took a birth in human blood - angels cry –
Eb
To the ages of violence and of hate
                         C#m  E
To explore the left hand path I came alive

[Pre-Chorus]
G#m         F#          G#m                  F#
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
C#m              A          C#m                     G#
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control

[Chorus]
C#m                 E           B
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
     A
To swallow the light
  G#        G#/C
Behold the ghost of a god
C#m                  E        B
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
    A
To swallow the light
  G#        G#/C       C#m  B  G#m  A
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh  oh
C#m  B  G#m  A
pharaoh, oh  no!

[Verse 2]
Eb
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on
                        C#m       E
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
Eb
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
                  C#m     E
Far away from his grave, Seth is free

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G#m              F#    G#m                       F#
Roaming through ages, begetting advice for your kings, yow...
C#m           A       C#m                         G#
Leading the stages of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no...

[Chorus]
C#m                 E           B
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
     A
To swallow the light
  G#        G#/C
Behold the ghost of a god
C#m                  E        B
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
     A
To swallow the light
  G#        G#/C       C#m  B  G#m  A
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh  oh
C#m  B  G#m  A
pharaoh, oh  no!

C#m                     G#m
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
    B                        F#
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
C#m                G#m
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
B                F#
He's a jester on the count
    C#m                     G#m
The wise man died and the seance went on
   B                            F#
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
C#m            G#m
In dreams of a masterplan
       B                   F#
For a billion parrots in a big cage
   C#m        G#m        B            F#
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
     C#m     G#m      B             F#
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
     C#m         G#m        B            F#
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
     C#m     G#m      B              F#
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
A                        Bsus4               B
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

I guide your away I make you stay alive

My servants taught you know how to survive
C#m         A        B            C#m
The way of light is food for your soul
               E            G#m      Em
But it's your belly that's taken control
             C          D         Em
No guiding light would shine anymore
               C          D           Em
It's just the red god replacing the core
             C       D            Em
He'll rise again to open up the gate
            G             D
We have to learn for our future, our fate...
