Pharaoh Songtext
von Crimson

I′m a pharaoh not a mortal man
So tell me why I have to die

Even though I see
The proposition clear
I know it's madness
It′s brought only sadness
This is not my fate
Don't try to take it away
My fire still burns strong
And I know where I belong

Even though the sands of time have run out
All the things I've left behind will live on forever

I′m a pharaoh not a mortal man
So tell me why I have to die
The gods live on and still I fall
And who succeeds me after I am gone?


Who could take the throne
To all I′ve built alone
Spiritual warfare's true
As long as the puppets do

How could they challenge my rule?
All their doubts
They will be true
Futile attempts to succeed
As I now clearly see

Even though the sands of time have run out
All the things I′ve left behind will live on forever

I'm a pharaoh not a mortal man
So tell me why I have to die
The gods live on and still I fall
And who succeeds me after I am gone

What is left of my soul
What is the likelihood that I′m wrong

I'm a pharaoh not a mortal man
So tell me why I have to die
The gods live on and still I fall
And who succeeds me after I am gone


I′m a pharaoh not a mortal man
So tell me why I have to die
The gods live on and still I fall
And who succeeds me after I am gone

After I am gone
Gone
