Golden treasures in silhouettes
Of the king now lost and broken
Lady Cleo lights a cigarette
In the mouth a golden token

Oh the Nile is the place to be
Set, the god locks the gilded casket
And Osiris shouldn't have fallen for that
Down to Hell in a million pieces

Funeral procession for the king and queen
Joined hands in sacred suicide
See Augustus in his purple robes
Closing in full of vengeance from the deicide

Oh the Nile is the place to be
Til the books burned by the heretics
Thoth is angered by the treachery
But the scales weigh hearts not science

Funeral procession for the king and queen
Joined hands in sacred suicide
See Augustus in his purple robes
Closing in full of vengeance from the deicide

Oh the Nile is the place to be
Set, the god locks the gilded casket
And Osiris shouldn't have fallen for that
Down to Hell in a million pieces
