What of this Egyptian tomb
with it's granite sarcophagus now vacant
who was the man that resided within
was he kind and gentle king, 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
cures for all mankinds ailments, I wonder

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

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

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