Black Mummy Lyrics - Singles - Death Ss

And black dry tears rolled down from your empty orbits 

while you remember with sorrow your ancient splendour 

the colossal pomps of this withered remote times 

and you regret impotent your depressing existence. 

You oh Pharaoh, you oh so great and lofty King 

you without peace are now obliged to be derided 

exposed into a museum for the pleasure of masses of curious 

they don't understand the tragedy of your poor remains. 

To be a Black Mummy! 

And now you return to that fatal cursed day 

first you had power and shortly afterwards were dead! 

Bonded at those ragged bandages for an arcane doom 

you hear again the strange words of the Nile's Priest. 

That you consecrated immortal as your ancestral will 

with holy bandages, the oils and the unknown baptisms 

and at last this strange state that you've never forecast 

dead among the living and alive among the dead! 

To be a Black Mummy!
