Symphony X - Egypt Lyrics






Endless sands of Alnantees - etched in
gold, a city lost in time
and from the Sea - A Child speaks of
things unseen,
before the King - a teller of the Rhyme

Five align - hidden in the word a
message locked in time
find the Key - it draws the final line
between what is and what should never be

Gaze in these eyes my child and see -
here by my side, you're destined to be
Fears in the night flee with the Sun - if we are One
Kingdom of Gold I lay at your feet -
Ruler of Time and Space you will be
Rivers of Truth forever will run - if we are One

From the ruins of Atlantis, the Lord of
Night rises from the sands
He seeks the one - his serpent's tail and
twisted tongue -
a bringer of War - Destroyer of the land

Five align - hidden in the word a
message locked in time
find the Key - it draws the final line
between what is and what should never be

"Rise my minions - from within the deep abyss
my disciples - thunder this necropolis"

Gaze in these eyes my child and see -
here by my side, you're destined to be
Fears in the night chasin the Sun - now we are One
Kingdom of Gold now lay at my feet -
Ruler of Time and Space I will be
Rivers of Lies forever will run - now we are One

    אני אישית חיכיתי ממש לשיר הזה חחח

  24. J.... T....

    This is the first album of theirs I heard and was immediately a huge fan. I too think this is one of their best albums.

    J.... T....

    The Divine Wings of Tragedy is perfect

    J.... T....

    @Jong Kim Un i think V a little bit better

    J.... T....

    @Alison Silva For me it goes:


    Divine Wings > V > Olympus

    J.... T....

    @The Magicians Love for me:
    Divine wings >> V >> odissey (yes, i changed my mind hahah)

    J.... T....

    P.... R....

    golden knife

  27. g.... ....

    the vocals of this track are so hypnotic

    g.... ....

    I want to blast this from 2 monolithic tesla coils... First I must build them all the way to olympus.... Only then will i know if ive repeated a timeloop akin to the tragedy of Nimrod.

  28. J.... F....

    Russell Allen's voice is so damn whole and warm, what an amazing voice, I would be shocked if he's not in top 100 for vocalists in a band, even individual

    J.... F....

    +SneakyFudge Legendary vocalist \m/

    J.... F....

    He is one the best metal/prog singers . top 10 easily.

    J.... F....

    Josh he's one of the best alive.

    J.... F....

    I shook his hand once. He’s like twice my size and I’m 6’2”. Giant dude, giant voice.

  29. M.... ....

    SR. RUSSEL ALLEN!!!

  30. Z.... ....

    yea reminds me too of Mercyful Fate - Mad Arab

  31. V.... ....

    They need to put out another awesome live album!

  32. J.... W....

    Very soothing for my troubled mind.

  33. e.... g....

    Cancion majestuosa al igual que la letra, que nos expresa la vision de un faraon de egypto.

    e.... g....

    engels garcia siii

  34. R.... ....

    Reminds me little of Mercyful fate

  35. f.... ....

    the verse sounds very similar to Sea of Lies. Anyone notice?

    f.... ....

    +ThunderhorsE1213 whats 0-2 variation because i also hear similarities between his earlier songs

    f.... ....

    open fret on the guitar to the 2nd fret. since he plays in d standard it just means he goes from D to E and back for a lot of his riffs.

    f.... ....

    @fobsternd Yes, and at 3:20 is similar to the mid section of Revelation (divus pennae ex tragoedia)

    f.... ....

    it's common for bands to use or overuse their material it's just natural.

    f.... ....

    hey, i'm not complaining. XD

  36. S.... J....

    What a petty there isn`t more videos published along the amazing audio songs, instead of static pictures.

    S.... J....

    Legal uma velha q nem vc ouvir SX

    S.... J....

    +Cristina né kkkkkkk.

  37. Y.... ....

    I freakin' love this song, specially the mid section 3:20 - 4:16 and the beautiful piano outro 6:28.

    Y.... ....

    @Fernando Vidal The mid sectipn is similar at the Revelation (divus pennae ex tragoedia) one

  38. Z.... ....

    the piano outro is one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard.  this song is a classic for me.

    Z.... ....

    Yea!!! its beyond words!

    Z.... ....

    Michael Pinnella is a genius.

  39. J.... M....

    Me hechizo esta obra maestra

  40. M.... R....

    5:15 ...That scream...Always gives me goosebumps...

  41. M.... D....

    From 5:50 down to the end just gives me the chills, it's perfect

    M.... D....

    WTH? You pick like the last minute of 7 minutes of Magnificence?! Just typing in "Sym-- " in the search bar gave me chills!

    M.... D....

    Fuck off fake me

  42. M.... M....

    I made a playlist of 130+ other Middle Eastern styled metal if you want to discover more songs like this :) check it out!

    M.... M....

    Hey man, you forgot Scorpions - sails of Charon. You should add it to this Playlist.
    Iron maiden - The nomad.

    M.... M....

    Did you put any Myrath there? Lol

    M.... M....

    hi! where can i find the list you are referring to? thanks!

    M.... M....

    @Brian Justet This is his list https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bds3FALcR7M&list=PLvanXFVt_IMjgYu8wp3WJkBhNrqNLkDnS you can find it in his profile under playlists tab.

    M.... M....

    @Metal Maestro good to see Yaşru in your Altaic Folk Metal playlist, they are my favorite Turkish Folk Metal band. Your lists are awesome by the way!

  43. B.... ....

    10 years ago I'd have said this would be the perfect Yu-Gi-Oh theme song. :)

    B.... ....

    The first time i've seen this cover album , i thought : "Omg this is Yu-Gi-Oh" xD

    B.... ....

    Omfg, me and my brother were listening to this on the way home, and I thought the same thing...I was like " I CHOOSE YOU!!! BLUE EYES!" during the Egypt style chorus, had him rolling laughing lol...so awesome...this song gives me goose bumps..

    B.... ....

    The homoerotic subtext only made it better. Hero has another dude living INSIDE him, sharing his every feeling, memory, and secret? Rival with daddy issues is obsessed with dominating him? Not one but TWO pretty-boy-possessing sadomasochistic villains? Bow-chika-wow.

    B.... ....

    +BabakoSen I'll have what he's having...

    B.... ....

    I was rewatching Yu-Gi-Oh yesterday and I thought this too! Both the anime and song share the same aesthetic. What about "Pharaoh" from SX? Hahah I already love you ^^

  44. L.... ....

    The best!

  45. A.... C....

    I Love the final piano solo

  46. A.... H....

    EGYPT !!!

  47. T.... ....

    Are people really comparing Metallica to Symphony X's masterful Egypt?

    T.... ....

    @Pisstake rhapsody and dream theater and symphony x 😍😍😍😍

    T.... ....

    No, no one is. Stop trying to start arguments.

    T.... ....

    HEBushido, or: Prog vs. fake thrash. Which is what Metallica is.

    T.... ....

    Dream Theater will always be my favorite band. But I've been listening to Symphony X more since I discovered them. I like both. People shouldn't be comparing or talking shit.

    T.... ....

    Ah ah ah, my god

  48. k.... a....

    They're an awesome band to listen to, good stuff man.

  49. M.... P....

    I feeling at home, when I listen to symphony x on youtube: I am among others who listen to good music

  50. A.... ....

    Or 6/4 6/4 4/4
    I love music maths.

  51. N.... P....

    That's just your basic riff in 5/8 7/8 5/8 7/8 4/4

    N.... P....

    Nit Picker so basically is 4 x 4/4

  52. I.... ....

    Russell Allen sounds a lot like Steve Walsh here.

    I.... ....

    Crap he s Dio s brother

  53. M.... ....

  54. C.... M....

    It's divine* Sorry!

  75. F.... M....

    Ein gewohnter musikalischer "Geniestreich" von Symphony X

  76. T.... ....

    One of Symphony X's best!

  77. 1.... ....

    Except, Metallica is a mediocre. They're famous because most of the litseners are mediocrities too. Remember, mediocrity can't think above itself, while talent instantly recognizes genius.

  78. T.... ....

    @apatheist89 I know, I love that part, that and the course. Hell, I just love this entire song.

  79. j.... ....

  82. V.... Z....

    My Egyptian friends, hope you know that Egypt was conquered by Atlantis and you were saved by the Athenians! :P :-)

  83. a.... ....

    I've never had a vocal frighten me more than Russel Allen's vocals when he says "Rise my minions, from within the deep abyss" His range is incredible.

  84. A.... ....

    intro reminded me a lil of opeth
