Nefertiti

from BIRTH RIGHTS by GREGORY

lyrics

ALURUM - - -

Once upon a midnight’s dream
A vision came to mind
And in a glimpse of things to come
The world was left behind

The cities scorched and lands were laid
To waste before the one
Who would stand alone to rule the end
Of time before it’s done

Take heed ye all who now have life
And trust in what I sing
For one shall rise, as prophesized:
The final earthly king



Look into the eyes of the princess
Gazing back she does not see
All that I have put before her
In a temple built up to her name
She cries in the darkening shadows
Something black is in the air

Something has moved upon her
She feels the terror and despair
Behind the pleasure is the pain
So many falling everywhere
[terran construction confirmed]

Look into the eyes of the princess
So scared to be all alone
Looking back at me she starts to scream
[energy leak detected]
For at night when the moon is black
And the Nile is low, my figure glows
Showing me life must go on

Something she does not understand
Is happening to me
Called forth into command I live the role
But then there is so much more
Than they could ever see

Nefertiti…
One day the light will fade from your golden eyes
Nothing is Forever

I am the one who wears the crown
And even I will fall to the ground dead
When my time comes
[…thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness]
Unlike the peasants of the field
I was chosen long ago
When my name was called – releasing me

I have no fear of dying
I will return again someday
My tomb prepared before me
Where I will lie until the day I am awakened
By the Eyes Not of a Man
[an enemy hath done this]
[this world is not as we left it]

Nefertiti…
Cannot you see beyond what you think is there?
It could end whenever

Look into the eyes of the princess
Gazing back in memory
At all that I decreed to be on Earth
[…all written records have been removed…]
[…leave no reminders upon this planet…]
As the temple built up to her name
Crumbles down to the ground in the shadows
Something black slips away

I lived and died and now I am waiting patiently
For one day in a warring world a SIGN will shine to me
Into the darkest place no man has ever seen

Nefertiti…
When the plan unfolds, will you still be there?
Life is next to never
One day a light will shine in a heavenly glare
I am as forever
Nothing is Forever
[leave no reminders upon this planet]
