Píseň: Son Of The Staves Of Time

Interpret:
Therion
Album:
Gothic Kabbalah
In ancient days of Khem
A Pharao was praising
The sun above Amon
Osiris, Mother Isis and Thoth


The gods would punish the hybris of Pharao
He wrapped himself in false sunshine
He was the founding father of the only God
But he provoked a fit of rage


chorus:
Son of the Sun, it was his name
Son of the Sun, the sun will burn your wings
Son of the Sun, beware of Aton
Son of the Sun, your God will let you down




The Sphinx burst into tears
And pyramids are shaking
The precipice is close
When Pharao is losing his faith






Visions of madness led the Pharao astray
The portents were too ominous
Until this day his curse is still the plague of Man
We must defeat the only God


chorus:
Son of the Sun, it was his name
Son of the Sun, the sun will burn your wings
Son of the Sun, beware of Aton
Son of the Sun, your God will let you down


Apep will rise
Apep will come


chorus:
Son of the Sun, it was his name
Son of the Sun, the sun will burn your wings
Son of the Sun, beware of Aton
Son of the Sun, your God will let you down
