Nile - Beneath Eternal Oceans of Sand (Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka) lyrics
[Nile - Beneath Eternal Oceans of Sand Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka lyrics]
There is balm as well as bitterness
And that balm is Nepenthe
Yet underneath endless oceans of sand
I have not forgotten
Those who had betrayed me
Silent and unmovable i am not sorry
For I had hated the light
Now I ride with the undead
Across the night-sky and play by day
Amongst the catacombs of Nephren-Ka
In the sealed and unknown
Valley of Hadoth by the Nile
I know that light is not for me
Save that of the moon over
The rock tombs of Neb
Nor any debauchery save the
Unknown feasts of Nitokris
Beneath the great pyramid
But in the loneliness of entombment
I welcome the bitterness of alienage
