The Pharao Sails To Orion Lyrics

Nightwish The Pharao Sails To Orion

"Get away from me!
               Take heed to thyself and see my face no more!
                      for in the day Thou see my face
                              Thou shalt die!"

                                Exodus 10:28

           A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth
                           A holy harbour - Orion
                    Nautical ascension to the firmament

        Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land
           Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman

         The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral
                  "Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee"

         Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb
                  "Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee"

       Reveal your face to me and guide me though the Stygian fields
           Enthral my soul to Sepedet's beams to serve Your will

          Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance
             Tales like the ocean written to the Draco's glance

      Ruling with the scythe of death you tear out philosophies apart
                An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars

                        "Open thy veins for my venom
                  Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue
                   So shalt thou join the emryrean circus
                   Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance
                         In this twilight cathedral
                             Shall I wed thee,
                        O Bride of the Netherwolrd"

                              (Repeat chorus)

                     Join my soul the Hunter in the sky
