This song was written for The Mummy Returns. It is from Imhotep's point of view and his feelings about Anck-su-namun (historically, Ankhesenamun) are made very clear in the song- a love, desperate and bordering on obsession. He would spill blood freely for her, would become immortal to spend more than forever with her. It is beautiful, possessive and dominant.
What makes it very sad is that she does not return the same feelings, as is evidenced in the end of The Mummy Returns.
