Midnight Walker - Son of Ra Lyrics

Golden chariots and endless sand
The weight of empire in my hand
Statues rise at my command
But time slips through like grains of sand
This is the price of being divine
To rule the Nile, to draw the line
My power vast, yet still confined
I'm Ramses, son of Ra, they say
But even gods can fade away
My name in stone, my deeds in clay
Will they remember me someday
In the Book of the Dead, my name will shine
My soul eternal, my rule divine
I'm Ramses, son of Ra, they say
But even gods can fade away
Nefertari, my queen of queens
In life and death, in all my scenes
Our love etched deep in temple walls
But even that to ruin falls
Is this the curse of living long
To see the end of every song
To watch the mighty prove not strong
As time erodes what once belonged
I'm Ramses, son of Ra, they say
But even gods can fade away
My name in stone, my deeds in clay
Will they remember me someday
In the Book of the Dead, my name will shine
My soul eternal, my rule divine
I'm Ramses, son of Ra, they say
But even gods can fade away
User-Maat-Ra, a name they'll know
When desert winds begin to blow
My glory etched in time's domain
Will something of me still remain
I'm Ramses, son of Ra, they say
But even gods can fade away
My name in stone, my deeds in clay
Will they remember me someday
In the Book of the Dead, my name will shine
My soul eternal, my rule divine
I'm Ramses, son of Ra, they say
But even gods can fade away
In the end, we're all just men
Playing gods until the end
But I'll carve my name so deep
That even time might let me keep
I'm Ramses, son of Ra, they say
But even gods can fade away
My name in stone, my deeds in clay
Will they remember me someday
In the Book of the Dead, my name will shine
My soul eternal, my rule divine
I'm Ramses, son of Ra, they say
But even gods can fade away
I'm Ramses, son of Ra, they say
But even gods can fade away
