Ape Cave Pyramid Lyrics Ape Cave lyrics

Monoliths, catacombs
Ocean of desert and sky
Razor winds sweep over the dunes
Even now the slave away
For the great pharaoh
As the river its way through the barren landscape
So too do those evolved ones carve through the stone
Chiseling away, eyes towards the heavens
This must be something greater than them
Heaving, heaving, the sweat runs down their faces
Like so many tears
However they must push forward
To appease the pharaoh, the god-king
As the mammoth tomb nears completion
The desert ruler's body grows decrepit

A fleeting physical form
With disfigured flesh, he oversees
Gazing over the mineral sea
Waiting, watching, growing weaker with every passing day
A greater vision constantly maintained
Finally, the fruition takes hold
The final slabs set in place
This gargantuan wonder, this final resting place
Son of lords, lord of men
The duty fulfilled
Child of cosmos returns home
