The Vision Bleak
The Black Pharaoh Trilogy, Part II: The Vault of Nephren-Ka
In a valley of no sound, buried under desert ground
Enclosed by night without one star lies the vault of Nephren-Ka
It calls
And calls
It calls
And calls
Where isolation dies alone, an ancient deathless does throne
Shunned by the light of Amun-Ra, that is the vault of Nephren-Ka
This Nether-Netherworld is crowned by rotten sorcery abound
Where on old bones the ghoul-fiends gnaw
In the vault of Nephren-Ka
It calls
And calls
It calls
And calls
And the unsound fingers still grasp a crystal by its will
Bedded on an ill altar
The remains of Nephren-Ka
Where isolation dies alone, an ancient deathless does throne
Shunned by the light of Amun-Ra, that is the vault of Nephren-Ka!
