Píseň: The Pharaoh Sails To Orion

Interpret:
Nightwish
Album:
Oceanborn
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 through 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 our 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 empyrean circus 
Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance 
In this twilight cathedral 
Shall I wed thee, 
O Bride of the Netherworld" 


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


Join my soul the Hunter in the sky
