Keep Of Kalessin - Necropolis lyrics

[Verse 1] Adrift - nomadic men Towards the land of no return To seek the knowledge of the gods A distant journey Through the sun-baked deserts Where sandstone monuments are towering [Verse 2] Above the dunes the solar storms erupt Into the esoteric realms of day and night Across red land Though scalding sand Yearning in the hearts of men [Chorus] Above the tombs The city of the dead Necropolis [Verse 3] Into the valley of their kin They seek Elysium for all d**h is a mere phase of life Depicted on the walls Funerary scripts depraved by time The epitaph of fallen kings [Verse 4] "Go tell the gods A fallen hero here within Ascended to another life." "Upon this throne Of stone and bone This kingdom I will reign alone." [Chorus] Above the tombs The city of the dead Necropolis Above the tombs The city of the dead Necropolis [Post-Chorus] Necropolis Necropolis Necropolis [Kicka** Instrumental Outro]
