lyrics

Pharaoh sleeps beneath the sand
In the heart of a buried desert land
In peace, enclosed beneath a riverbed

Once a student, then a king
Sought glory and the shiny things
Alexander lost among the dead

But when I awake
I cannot shake the past
The future holds
The first will too be last
What fire--what rain
What joy--what pain
In the setting of our only sun
That's sinkin' low
But soon you know

The birds return by nature's law
To sing the spring of northern thaw
Summer, fall, and winter come again

The birds return by nature's law
To sing the spring of northern thaw
Summer, fall, and winter come again
