To explore the left hand C#mpath EI came alive

C#mMy soul is just hAiding, my sC#mpirit haunting on to conG#trol
[Chorus]
C#mFlame of the Nile, fEire in the dBarkness
To swAallow the light
BeG#hold the gG#/Chost of a god

To sAwallow the light
BeG#hold the sG#/Cpirit of a C#mpharaBoh, G#moh  Aoh
C#mpharaBoh, G#moh  Ano!

Far away from his C#mgrave, SEeth is free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
