When the rains of the Earth stood still In the faith of the darkest will Sorcerers of the ageless one Cursed the world for the days to come In the gaze of the Pharaoh Through the midnight the desert wind Cold as serpent skin To the scorching Cairo days High noon, the Sun ablaze We dragged great stones through the Egypt sands Built the walls with shackled hands Lived and died by the priests demands Sweet Mary Sweet Mary My heart is broken Now my soul is dead The word is spoken Sweet Mary Sweet Mary One day Im gonna break this cage Unleash this human rage Crush their bones underneath these stones Sweet Mary Sweet Mary More than life could give While seasons turned, I devised my plan The perfect way we could make our stand Well mark this day with bloodred stains Theyve got whips but weve got chains And weve got the numbers, nearly tentoone When their eyes are blind by the setting Sun Well rise up to engage them Sweet Mary Sweet Mary
