Lyrics The Sun One Speaks - Yochannon, The Sun Ra Arkestra

The Sun One Speaks

In ancient days of Khem
A Pharaon was praising
The sun above Amon
Osiris, Mother Isis and Thoth
The gods would punish the hybris of Pharao
He wrapped himself in false sunshine
He was the founding father of the only God
But he provoked a fit of rage
Refrain
Son of the Sun, it was his name
Son of the Sun, the sun will burn your wings
Son of the Sun, beware of Aton
Son of the Sun, your God will let you down
The Sphinx burst into tears
And pyramids are shaking
The precipice is close
When Pharao is losing his faith
Visions of madness led the Pharaon astray
The portents were too ominous
Until this day his curse is still the plague of man
We must defeat the only God
Refrain
Apep will rise
Apep will come
Refrain
