When the rains of the Earth stood still In the faith of the darkest will Sorcerers of the ageless one Cursed the world for the days to come In the gaze of the Pharaoh
Through the midnight the desert wind Cold as serpent skin To the scorching Cairo days High noon, the Sun ablaze We dragged great stones through the Egypt sands Built the walls with shackled hands Lived and died by the priests demands Sweet Mary Sweet Mary
My heart is broken Now my soul is dead The word is spoken Sweet Mary Sweet Mary
One day I'm gonna break this cage Unleash this human rage Crush their bones underneath these stones Sweet Mary Sweet Mary
More than life could give
While seasons turned, I devised my plan The perfect way we could make our stand We'll mark this day with blood-red stains They've got whips but we've got chains And we've got the numbers, nearly ten-to-one When their eyes are blind by the setting Sun We'll rise up to engage them Sweet Mary Sweet Mary
