[Verse 1] A hymn for the praise of the setting sun In ancient Egypt, my home Child of Horus catch the morning star To the Elysian fields, well go [Verse 2] The God at the top of the staircase The usurper that weighs our hearts In your court, I deliver my soul To be coming forth by day [Chorus] In the temple of the dead In the temple of the dead [Verse 3] North, south, east, west My bones are spread all around My shadow will soon get rest To higher ground, Ill be bound [Chorus] In the temple of the dead In the temple of the dead [Bridge] I am the Moon God who dwelleth among the dead I shall not perish in Heaven or on Earth Ive cleft the horizon, Ive passed through the underworld I have divided the Heavens and scattered the gloom of night [Verse 4] To sail the northern Heaven With the sacred eye of stars The white crown, I bear forever The immortality of my soul [Chorus] In the temple of the dead In the temple of the dead
