There was a time when men would prosper
They saw a sign that would offer them the key
Immortality
The desert sand held a place of recourse
Their motivation driven by a higher source
A higher source

They let them know there's something more
The writings on the wall
Tell us the story of it all
It makes no sense

Show me the key
The coffin text
The disbelievers came to conquer
The secrets lost in a buried desert tomb
They sealed the truth
As evolution ate the pharaoh
Silenced the voice that cured all our sorrow
Oh, our sorrow

Silenced the voice that let us know
The writings on the wall
Tell us the story of it all
It makes no sense
Show me the key
The coffin text

Fighting, learning, saving, burning
Never knowing what is coming next
Lying, stealing, never healing
Safe to say we've all been hexed
It's in the coffin text
