Mercyful Fate - "Egypt" (video)

Ahh... Egypt... Ahh

O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end

Ahh... Egypt... Ahh

Osiris... Anubis...
The underworld is yours
Osiris... Anubis...
I put my soul in your hands

O Thou, God of the Dead
Lead my soul to the judgement hall
O Thou, Jackal Head
Weigh my soul, I await your call

Ahh... Egypt... Ahh

Ammit, Eater of the Dead
Is devouring my heart
Will I pass on to Aaru
Or will I be condemned?

I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know

I must be back on time
But still I want to know
I hope they let me go
I'm from another time
And I must reunite
My body and my soul

I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know

Osiris... Anubis...
The underworld is yours
Osiris... Anubis...
I put my soul in your hands

O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end

Ahh... Egypt... Ahh

Egypt come back to me
Egypt come back to me
Egypt, without beginning or end

Το 1993 ήταν το έτος που επανασυνδέθηκαν οι Mercyful Fate μετά το... οκταετές διάλειμμα. Η δεύτερη περίοδος της Δανέζικης μπάντας διήρκεσε έξι έτη (μέχρι το 1999). Πρώτος δισκογραφικός καρπός της επανένωσης ήταν το single "Egypt" και το full length album "In the Shadows" που κυκλοφόρησε το καλοκαίρι της ίδιας χρονιάς...
