Sarcophagus Songtext
von Thraxas!

Down in the river of the nile
Wade through the forgotten exiles
Gaze upon their figures of stone
Man made from flesh and bone
Endlessly toiled for a promise
We bow to the mighty obelisk
To cross out past the river Styx
What awaits this bag of tricks

Osiris awaits patiently for your heart
Sanctified in script we′ll weigh your art
Tribunal of life crack under the judge
Cry and plead all you want they won't budge
What did you do in your life to earn your stay?
Render the halls or help pave the way
To destruction and total mayhem
The latter, condemned


Surrender your weak heart
You won′t find redemption
Surrender your weak heart
Seek your penance

In the sarcophagus

To being a journey anew
Joyful if only that were true
Anger of the gods awake
You are who they forsake
Entombed forever more
With nothing to be
Condemned as a remnant
A damnation of eternity

Scarabs rip through your skin
Tear apart the evil within
Anubis casts the dinner bell
Beckoning a new form of hell
A nightmare or is it a dream?
Walls of reality tear at the seams
Bear the mark of the sacred
Upon the throne of hatred


The final pages of the dead
The curtain closes blood red
Of this final notorious chapter
The gods sound off laughter
As you're thrown to the wastes
Your heart on a plate
Down the enveloping black hole
Time has come to pay the toll

Surrender your weak heart
You won't find redemption
Surrender your weak heart
Seek your penance

In the sarcophagus

To being a journey anew
Joyful if only that were true
Anger of the gods awake
You are who they forsake
Entombed forever more
With nothing to be
Condemned as a remnant
A damnation of eternity
