From the east they are coming, they will get you in the night
The pharaoh tried to warn me but I opened it in spite
Hieroglyphics on the wall they say death to one and all
Now the curse is upon me and there ain't no place to hide
Now my fellow archaeologists were taken by the curse
Their death was quick and tragic and I'm sure mine will be worse
Hieroglyphics on the wall they say death to one and all
Now the curse is upon me and there ain't no place to hide
Now I'm fleeing through the desert with the pyramids in sight
I got to get to safety before day turns into night
Hieroglyphics on the wall they say death to one and all
Now the curse is upon me and there ain't no place to hide-- Rock
Now the pharaohs they all grab me and now I begin to shout
They want to lock me in a pyramid and never let me out
Standing guard night and day to make sure I don't get away
From the east they did come and they got me in the night-- Go
Killed the bloke who's guarding me and I begin to run
Out into the barren dessert heading for the blazing sun
Posting guards night and day to make sure I don't get away
Now I am beyond their reach and they've seen the last of me
