Lyrics:
The Temple of Ekur
Unites heaven and Earth
Durangi Mountain House
The Garden of the Gods
Sumerian god of air
Or known as Enlil
Powerful is the son
Of Father Enkur
Lord so divine
Fear, lead me into the vault
It’s been said that heaven knows I’m lost
Help me to see the bleeding upon the walls
And forever damned into the metaphors
Aaah Egyptious
Aaah Egyptious
Terrifying words
In the dungeons of Nungal
Queen of the abyss
Calls the sinner’s end
Goddess of Ekur
And the Underworld
Worshiped by the sons
And Babylonians
So divine
Fear, lead me into the vault
It’s been said that heaven knows I’m lost
Help me to see the bleeding upon the walls
And forever damned into the metaphors
Aaah Egyptious
Aaah Egyptious
Celebrating all
The offerings in gold
And pray
For all the fallen
A priest in highest form
Speaks with the devil tongues
Concealed from sunrise to sunset
Fear, lead me into the vault
It’s been said that heaven knows I’m lost
Help me to see the bleeding upon the walls
And forever damned into the metaphors
Aaah Egyptious
Aaah Egyptious
Aaah Egyptious

Volbeat is that old-school formula of heavy beats, pleasing melodies, amazing vocals, and lyrics that make you go, "Wait... what's this song about??". Not an easy combination to master, but they nail it every time.

[@michaelriney5800]

Nailed it!

Diese ewig süßlichen Refrains. Poulsen hat es echt nicht mehr drauf, durchgehend gute Songs zu schreiben. Bei dieser Scheibe fängt jedes Lied hart an und verliert sich dann in einem ekelhaft schmalzigen Chorus! 👎👎👎 Poulsen: hol die alte Mannschaft zurück, vielleicht wirds dann wieder so genial wie früher (ersten 3 Alben) !!
