Cairo Video (MV)

Stranded in the desert days away from Cairo
Pyramids are out of sight and out of reach
Solar radiation turned up to a thousand
It's a crispy stroll on Set's unceasing beach
Will I see the Nile and drink the Pharaoh's water
Will I peter out and sink into the sand
Nobody rebukes the bold Egyptian sunshine
It's the heat that makes this Western Desert grand
When night is high
Sah, light the sky
The moon of Khonsu rising
Steal the night
No demons in my sight
Maybe I can keep from frying
And even though it's not the promised land
It must be better than this hollow
Not many artisans can move the line of sight
In the eye of Cairo
Stranded in the desert days away from Cairo
Goblet of the Pharaoh just beyond my grasp
If I don't arrive in time before I'm roasted
My phalanges will be supper for an asp
Now is not the day I bargain with Osiris
Even with the violent wind against my wings
Everybody tumbles down a dune at some point
It's the wind that makes this Western Desert swing
When night is high
Sah, light the sky
The moon of Khonsu rising
Steal the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Stolen night
No kheft in sight
The moon of Khonsu glowing
Night is high
Sah, illuminate the sky
Now I know which way I'm going
