Cracks Beneath the Tide

Verse 1

Sands shift under my feet tonight

Pyramids cut the sky like teeth

Pharaoh's ghost is whispering lies

I came here to bury the truth beneath

Kings carved their names in stone

But my name is carved in breath

They sold me dreams wrapped in gold

I came to collect what's left

Pre-Chorus

Masks of marble cannot hide

The cracks that run beneath the tide

Chorus

Egypt lie

Egypt lie

Give me back the morning light

Egypt lie

Egypt lie

I won't worship what's not right

Verse 2

Columns crumble slow and steady

Gods of clay and borrowed thunder

I asked the river where it's headed

It answered silver then went under

Hymns were sung to hollow thrones

Ivory priests with hollow eyes

I trace the map in my bones

This empire taught me how to rise

Pre-Chorus

Marble masks and gilded chains

Nothing here but pretty stains

Chorus

Egypt lie

Egypt lie

Give me back the morning light

Egypt lie

Egypt lie

I won't worship what's not right

Bridge

Athens whispered on the wind

Sparta taught me not to bend

Every empire builds to fall

I keep standing through it all

Chorus

Egypt lie

Egypt lie

Give me back the morning light

Egypt lie

Egypt lie

I won't worship what's not right
