Nightwish - Tutankhamen lyrics

rate me

As the sun sets beyond the pyramid

To greet me with its rays

I place my hand on my forehead

To see your chariots' flames

Watch me kneel before you

Hear the cats meowing in the temple

They yearn for the milk you cascaded

As I yearn your promised treasure

Treasure of

Tutankhamen

I am the one it is

Take me with you

Through the stargate

To the valley of the kings

Sacrifice me

Tutankhamen

And let me be your queen

Take me

Tonight and always

We'll breed to fill all earth

Three millenniums it took me to guard your rest

Your slumber in mighty Phoenix's nest

But tonight the darkness in the tomb has perished

For Carter has come to free my beloved

Treasure of...

Sacrifice me...
