Egypt Lyrics

Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Solo: Shermann
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Osiris...Anubis...The underworld
is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul
in your hands
O Thou, God of the Dead
Lead my soul to the judgement hall
O Thou, Jackal Head
Weigh my soul, I await your call
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Ammit, Eater of the Dead
Is devouring my heart
Will I pass on to Aaru
Or will I be condemned?
Solo: Denner
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I must be back on time
But still I want to know
I hope they let me go
I'm from another time
And I must reunite
My body and my soul
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
Osiris...Anubis...The underworld is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul in your hands
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Egypt come back to me
Egypt come back to me
Egypt, without beginning or end

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
