Upon the Throne

Raise high the torch
And stare wide-eyed
Cryptic writings carved in stone

An ancient king
Lies mummified
Perched upon his basalt throne

Upon the throne lying in wait
Gazing through the sands of time
Upon the throne lying in wait
Beyond the sands of time

Across his knees
A sword lay bare
Remnant of a glorious past

Withdraw the sword
And face its glare
The ancient king is free at last

Upon the throne lying in wait
Gazing through the sands of time
Upon the throne lying in wait
Beyond the sands of time
