Black Mummy (live 1980) Lyrics

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!
