Curse of the Mummy's Tomb

Do you find yourself in darkness?

Do you find yourself in light?

That's a question I want answered

Could you answer me tonight?

Could you give me some directions

In this cave of after life?

Do I struggle with my conscience

As it struggles with my life?

In this blackness that surrounds me

But doesn't give me any room

There's so much that I forget

Is that the curse of the mummy's tomb?

We're all the bold explorer

We all seek gold and fame

Out asking for directions

To the house that knows no pain

And the casual traveler wonders

Who led us all astray?

As he leans against the bar

And watches children play

In the blackness that surrounds them

Where there's never any room

But he's following his own quest

For the curse of the mummy's tomb

There are riches here you cannot sell

So value them we don't

There are spies at every corner

Please, help us they say "Won't"

There are special traps of wisdom

Devised to seize the fool

To entomb him with the mummy's gold

There are demons who shout "Duel"

But I'm too busy with my conscience

I'm too busy with my gloom

Can you rid me of the fever?

That's the curse of the mummy's tomb

We started out together

Our expeditions linked

But every student has a theory

The best he's ever thinked

And our vanity betrays us

And our nerve, it disappears

After crossing the dark threshold

Into loneliness and tears

Could I travel into caves unknown

Hear the dullest thud of doom?

Can I wander noisy silence?

That's the curse of the mummy's tomb

Buried deep within the mountain

In the valley of the king

There's a passage way that leads there

Where the wind whistles and sings
