Nile - Under the Curse of the One God

"Under The Curse Of The One God"

A dread epoch of darkness and illiteracy
Has been thrust upon us
The written words of the god Thoth
Blighted, erased, burned
Consumed in flames of zealotry
Now forbidden
Under the curse of the One God

The ancients of our two lands
Whose wisdom was transcendent
Now lay mute, buried in sand
Lost forever to us
As we have turned from them
They have turned from us

They could not foresee the demise of reason
They knew nothing of the prophet yet to come
They knew nothing of the prophet yet to come
They knew nothing
Nothing

Our minds have been poisoned by usurpers
The Great Company of the Gods cast aside
Their ancient knowledge has become profane
They knew nothing of the prophet yet to come
They knew nothing

They hear not our cries of anguish
As we submit to the One God
A plague is now upon us
A crippling affliction of the mind

Invisible chains bind us to an unbreakable state of ignorance
Lies and untruths enslave us
Under the curse of the One God
Under the curse of the One God

Under the curse
Under the curse of the One God

Under the curse
Under the curse
Under the curse
