Egyptian Pharaohs

Your mysticism captivates my world today Covered in gold and ruins We try to decode What you left behind for us so long Its been five thousand years And we still feel so lost without you Let your sun god Ra Show us the path you took The pyramids were the keys to your afterlives Show us how to live our lives I live in a world covered in blame With people constantly finding someone else to blame No boy king in Tut in our day No Cleopatra ruling any day Just a lot of villains called politicians Oh great Egyptian Pharaohs Show us how you brought prosperity and peace To your once unstable land
