The Rise of Nehebu-Kau Lyrics


Darkness is falling and spirits arise

Hatred and evil now blacken the skies.

With every word chanted a new star will fall

And eternal darkness shall soon cover all.

Time corrupts as one shall see

Through bleak and hateful misery

Enslaved for deeds to man unknown

Deprived of godly rightful throne

Where once was love it now bears spite

Where once it healed it now spreads blight

Forced to sleep against its will

Left in chains, that is until…

In robes of darkest crimson

And with purpose set in stone

Chant a group of men determined

to bring back what is unknown

Reciting words forbidden

and foregoing all restrain

In a circle charged with power

to restore an ancient reign

And so we shout his name for all the world to hear!

And so we let the heavens tremble in fear!

Nehebu-Kau… The great beast now awakes

Nehebu-Kau… Behold the lord of snakes

Nehebu-Kau… Hope has long since gone

Nehebu-Kau… For he has killed the dawn.

Darkness is falling and spirits arise

Hatred and evil now blacken the skies.

With every word chanted a new star will fall

And eternal darkness shall soon cover all.

And so we shout his name for all the world to hear!

And so we let the heavens tremble in fear!

Nehebu-Kau… The great beast now awakes

Nehebu-Kau… Behold the lord of snakes

Nehebu-Kau… Hope has long since gone

Nehebu-Kau… For he has killed the dawn.

In caverns lost now to the world

a long gone evil wakes

under the sands of a forgotten land

Stirring from a cold embrace

ragged breaths grow steady now

and closed eyes open anew

chains of bondage disappear

its strength is now renewed

Behold the serpent headed god

as he breaks free of his tomb

rising from the burning sands

From darkened places now exhumed

And as the skies begin to darken

the world lets out a cry

for all that once was good and pure

has now laid down and died

Darkness has fallen and spirits arose

Hatred and evil have vanquished their foes.

Every word chanted has left the skies bare

And shrouded the world now is in despair.

And so we shout his name for all the world to hear!

And so we let the heavens tremble in fear!

Nehebu-Kau… The great beast now awakes

Nehebu-Kau… Behold the lord of snakes

Nehebu-Kau… Hope has long since gone

Nehebu-Kau… For he has killed the dawn.

Darkness has fallen and spirits arose

Hatred and evil have vanquished their foes.

Every word chanted has left the skies bare

And shrouded the world now is in despair.
