Avdei Far'oh Lyrics


Another day, in this deserted hell

I must obey whatever they say, treated like animal

Until the sunset comes

Day after day, I feel the whip's wrath

It's said that we're blessed, that's a curse

To build pharaoh's grave, to build someone's pride

Another day, I'm slave of my fate

I must endure all the pain,

How much torture and misery in a tyrant's name?

I was never free from my cradle to my grave

I'm never free from dawn to dusk

For his vanity I'll die

Without having seen the sky

Under the sun I was born near Nile's shore

Raised as workhorse, I was told I'm a servant of god

The lies unfold, there is no god, they've chained my soul, torn me apart

As the sun comes down, I will rest my soul

No masters! Never! You cannot slave my thoughts

Someday my kind will wake, masters will be slaves

Gods will be rats, tyranny shall pass

As the sun comes down, I will rest my soul

No masters! Never! You cannot slave my thoughts

Pharaoh demands our praise

God demands our death

How did a man become god?

When mankind lost its mind?

I see a man in the throne (not a god)

A common man filled with arrogance

For power and glory he kills

For power and glory starves his voracious mind
