Temple of the Dead Songtext
von Nocturnal Rites

A dynasty falls, another reborn
The Pharaoh′s legacy, carved into stone
In scriptures of Re, the God of the Nile
Tell how to bury the chosen

Open the temple
Entomb the soul of the king

As the gate opened up
And we saw the temple inside
Heard the calling from beyond
In the temple of the dead

The new king is born, gets the white crown
Reigning in slavery, cult of the damned
The people rebel, dethroning the King
Comes without warning, a shadow

Open the temple
Entomb the soul of the king


As the gate opened up
And we saw the temple inside
Heard the calling from beyond
In the temple of the dead

As the gate opened up
And we saw the temple inside
Heard the calling from beyond
In the temple of the dead

Break the seal
Awake the soul Re
A prophecy
Then the dead arise
Break the seal, yeah, yeah
Awake the soul Re
A prophecy
Then the dead arise
The dead shall arise

Open the temple
Entomb the soul of the king

As the gate opened up
And we saw the temple inside
Heard the calling from beyond
In the temple of the dead


As the gate opened up
And we saw the temple inside
Heard the calling from beyond
In the temple of the dead
