Pharoah

You came from a legendary period in time Possessing almighty power Respected and worshipped by those who serve And feared by those who cower Creator of the mystic pyramids Four sided structured tombs The Old Kingdom bids farewell An immortal existence looms You once fought in Nubian wars Upon that desert sand We’ve never understood your genius So evident in the land History says you spoke an ancient tongue And carried a golden ankh Certain that Ra would emerge each day Your subjects in prayer would thank Under the cover of the veil of your disguise Who knows what your future will behold Those that fear you, are those that you despise Now you are a legend, your story may be told Steeped in Eastern mystery As a God you live forever Out of the hand of Anubis We’ll underestimate you never
