Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Adrift - nomadic men
Towards the land of no return
To seek the knowledge of the gods

A distant journey
Through the sun-baked deserts
Where sandstone monuments are towering

[Verse 2]
Above the dunes the solar storms erupt
Into the esoteric realms of day and night

Across red land
Though scalding sand
Yearning in the hearts of men

[Chorus]
Above the tombs
The city of the dead
Necropolis

[Verse 3]
Into the valley of their kin
They seek Elysium for all
Death is a mere phase of life

Depicted on the walls
Funerary scripts depraved by time
The epitaph of fallen kings

[Verse 4]
\'Go tell the gods
A fallen hero here within
Ascended to another life.\'

\'Upon this throne
Of stone and bone
This kingdom I will reign alone.\'

[Chorus]
Above the tombs
The city of the dead
Necropolis

Above the tombs
The city of the dead
Necropolis

[Post-Chorus]
Necropolis

Necropolis

Necropolis
