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
