I heard the oxygen get sucked away from you

We built a room inside a room inside a room

For ourselves

We prayed in there

Did nothing else

We multiplied seven by seven by seven and we saw hell

And I climbed the pyramids of Giza in my dreams

I asked the bird god Ra if anything is as it seems he said no

Not under the moon

So I payed Ra my compliments and stole every shadow from the pharaoh's tomb

I heard the sound of someone calling in the wild

If you asked me I couldn't tell you what he said

But he ate locusts, bathed in rivers and he wept

Every reptile in the valley climbed his head

He said someone else

Had beaten death

And I climbed the pyramids of Giza in my dreams

I asked the bird god Ra if anything is as it seems

He said no

Not under the moon

So I payed Ra my compliments and stole every shadow from the pharaoh's tomb

You were always

The worst of me

I said unto the mirror

And pyrrhic scripture

Blazed before me in the fog

The holiest part of me is

Sagging like a sick and dying dog

And coughing blood into the train of every errant, impure thought

I was left high and dry in the wind

Like a sail flapping in the flames of hell

But Mr. Farmer I must say your seed was planted well

Here I am before the judge

Victorious and ruined all the same

With etchings, runes, and verses carved into my rotten brain

And I climbed the pyramids of Giza in my dreams

I asked the bird god Ra if anything is as it seems he said no

Not under the moon

So I payed Ra my compliments and stole every shadow from the pharaoh's tomb
