Curse of the Pharaohs

From the east they are coming
They will get you in the night
The pharaoh tried to warn me
But I opened it in spite

Hieroglyphics on the wall
They say death to one and all
Now the curse is upon me
And there ain't no place to hide

Now my fellow archaeologists
Were taken by the curse
Their death was quick and tragic
And I'm sure mine will be worse

Hieroglyphics on the wall
They say death to one and all
Now the curse is upon me
And there ain't no place to hide

Now I'm fleeing through the desert
With the pyramids in sight
I've got to get to safety
Before day turns into night

Hieroglyphics on the wall
They say death to one and all
Now the curse is upon me
And there ain't no place to hide

Now the pharaohs, they all grab me
And now I begin to shout
They want to lock me in a pyramid
And never let me out

Standing guard night and day
To make sure I don't get away
From the east they did come
And they got me in the night

Now I killed the bloke who's guarding me
And I begin to run
Out into the barren desert
Heading for the blazing sun

Posting guards night and day
To make sure I don't get away
Now I am beyond their reach
And they've seen the last of me
