The Boat of Millions of Years
[Verse 1]
Horus the Good lived in the North
In lands of fertility and beauty
But Set stayed in the hard desert
To him belonged all drought and perversity
And he sheds his tears
Beneath the Boat of Millions of years
And e fights to kill the hawk
Bearing with him evil and darkness
But Horus lives with the Sun
[Verse 2]
Forever the battle rages
Evil tries to kill the innocent baby
And only Osiris, the Lord of the Dead
Can eventually save it
So wе must cast aside the future fеars
And call out on the Boat of Millions of years
The God of Love is on our side
And with him we shall not die...
There's life in the Sun!
There's life in the Sun!
Only in violence is the cause lost:
In peace, grey Set can't kill our baby of love
Can't kill our baby of love
