[Verse 1]
A hymn for the praise of the setting sun
In ancient Egypt, my home
Child of Horus catch the morning star
To the Elysian fields, we'll go

[Verse 2]
The God at the top of the staircase
The usurper that weighs our hearts
In your court, I deliver my soul
To be coming forth by day

[Chorus]
In the temple of the dead
In the temple of the dead

[Verse 3]
North, south, east, west
My bones are spread all around
My shadow will soon get rest
To higher ground, I'll be bound

[Chorus]
In the temple of the dead
In the temple of the dead
[Bridge]
I am the Moon God who dwelleth among the dead
I shall not perish in Heaven or on Earth
I've cleft the horizon, I've passed through the underworld
I have divided the Heavens and scattered the gloom of night

[Verse 4]
To sail the northern Heaven
With the sacred eye of stars
The white crown, I bear forever
The immortality of my soul

[Chorus]
In the temple of the dead
In the temple of the dead
