Queen of the Nile

At the heart of the desert
Sunset's in your mind
The sandstorms are burning your eyes
You once ruled the rich fields
The land of milk and honey
Now poverty's the only thing you've got

You locked your heart into a chest of ice
And sold your soul just for desire
You killed your unborn son
And threw him into the hellfire

Queen of the Nile, once the star of the masquerade
Queen of the Nile, casting shadows on brighter days
You're rotten to the core, see your life burning away

Alone in the temple
Longing for salvation
But no one will answer your prayers
Behind the darkest curtains
Lost in strange illusions
You're drowning in the sea of lies

Vainglory takes over your soul
And the pharaoh will come after you
You fell from grace and
You'll fall from your tower so soon

Queen of the Nile, once the star of the masquerade
Queen of the Nile, casting shadows on brighter days
You're rotten to the core, see your life burning away

Stand up and look into my eyes
Your time has come to pay the price
Drink from the grail
And hold my hand

You turned your back to paradise
Behind the mountains I will rise
Welcome to your
Judgment Day

Queen of the Nile, once the star of the masquerade
Queen of the Nile, casting shadows on brighter days
You're rotten to the core, see your life burning away
Queen of the Nile, once the star of the masquerade
Queen of the Nile, casting shadows on brighter days
You're rotten to the core, see your life burning away
Queen of the night yea ooh ooh
Queen of the night yea ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Queen of the night yea ooh ooh
Queen of the night yea ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
