Manilla Road - Fire Of Asshurbanipal lyrics

I've followed the ancient rhyme Across distant lands A quest that has led my life To these desert sands Seeking the fire of the damned This j**el Artifact of the past This orb of Cthul I have found at last A city lost in the sands From forgotten times Guarded by unearthly hands A j**el red as fire Cursed for all time Fire of Ashurbanipal Hides behind black temple walls All who dare touch this gem fall Under the black demon's claws This j**el Artifact of the past This orb of Cthul That I have found at last I dare not disturb This breath would be my last Heed what you've heard Or lose your soul to the past
