Necropolis

Adrift - Nomadic men

Towards the land of no return

To seek the knowledge of the gods

A distant journey

Through the sun-baked deserts

Where sandstone monuments are towering

Above the dunes the solar storms erupt

Into the esoteric realms of day and night

Across red land

Through scalding sand

Yearning in the hearts of men

Above the tombs

The city of the dead

Necropolis

Into the valley of their kin

They seek elysium for all

Death is a mere phase of life

Depicted on the walls

Funerary scripts depraved by time

The epitaph of fallen kings

"Go tell the gods

A fallen hero here within

Ascended to another life"

"Upon this throne

Of stone and bone

This kingdom I will reign alone"

Above the tombs

The city of the dead

Necropolis
