What of this ancient Egyptian tomb
with it's granite sarcophagus now vacant
who was the man that resided in here
was he kind and gentle or a monarch of evil

Was the sky bluer, the sun warmer
was the air sweeter from scented gardens
did he know of now forgotten cures
for all mans ailments, I wonder

Their marble epitaphs
was it a triumph of the will
how many slaved souls sacrificed
how many of those poor wretches killed

How horrid to be buried with your master
buried alive, to serve your king
forever more his servant
doing his bidding in worship of him

Yet now its just a hollow receptacle
empty yes, yet full of mystery
this a fitting thing
for an ancient king
