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
