Sunrise Over Tutankhamun cover art

Letra

[Verse 1]
Tiny pharaoh on a golden chair
Eyes like desert stars
Ancient stare
Sand is singing in a quiet room
Secret dreams wrapped up in perfume

[Chorus]
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun (hey!)
Little king shining in the sun
From the Valley to the sky above
Your name’s a spell for young love
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun (oh!)
Sleeping till the ages come
But my heart hears your drum
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun

[Verse 2]
Painted lotus by your resting feet
Cats and cobras keeping time and beat
You were younger than the tales they tell
Still they built you an eternal shell

[Chorus]
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun (hey!)
Little king shining in the sun
From the Valley to the sky above
Your name’s a spell for young love
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun (oh!)
Sleeping till the ages come
But my heart hears your drum
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun

[Bridge]
Did you ever chase the river’s edge
Laughing loud on the temple steps
I will dance for you across the years
Turn your story into song right here (la-la-la)

[Chorus]
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun (hey!)
Little king shining in the sun
From the Valley to the sky above
Your name’s a spell for young love
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun (oh!)
Sleeping till the ages come
When they call
You still shine on
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun
