Southward
I made my way to a city where priestcraft reigned
Beyond the river Styx, I saw the black wall standing tall
Watched by the great towers glaring down from the sky
I made my way through the darkest of temples, nothing but a broadsword at my side
There in the darkness echoed the screams of a woman ahead
And oh, what horrors there pierced my heart with dread
The serpents were dancing!
Black figures were chanting!
A virgin lay there, where the smoke began to rise
And a hawk-faced man lifted his dagger for the sacrifice
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
They are the black magicians
Fear the priests of Set!
They praise the serpent king
In Stygia, the shadow reigns
They are the black magicians
Fear the priests of Set!
They praise the serpent king
In Stygia, where the scaled ones sing
Sorcerers weave awful spells
In the darkness of the pyramids
(Serpent God, rise!)
Under the wicked rule of the wizard king
(Serpent God, rise!)
In black-walled Khemi,
Where the snakes slither free
(Serpent God, rise!)
The virgins cry in agony
When the time has come to feed
(Serpent God, rise!)
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
They are the black magicians
Fear the priests of Set!
They praise the serpent king
In Stygia, the shadow reigns
They are the black magicians
Fear the priests of Set!
They praise the serpent King
In Stygia, where the scaled ones sing
Oooh!
The priests of Set
