Temple Of The Dead Lyrics - Chapter Vi - Candlemass

A hymn for the praise of the setting sun 

in ancient egypt my home 

Child of Horus catch the morningstar 

to the Elysian fields we will go 

The god at the top of the staircase 

the usurper that weighs our hearts 

In your court I deliver my soul 

to be coming forth by day 

North, south, east and west 

My bones lay all around 

My shadow will soon get rest 

to higher ground I'll be bound 

In the temple of the dead 

In the temple of the dead 

I am the moongod who dwelleth among the dead 

I shall not perish in heaven or on earth 

I've cleft the horizon, I've passed through the underworld 

I have divided the heavens and scattered the gloom of night 

To sail the northern heaven 

with the sacred eye of stars 

The white crown I bear forever 

the immortality of my soul 

In the temple of the dead 

In the temple of the dead
