[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Son of God of the Sun, the two lands in thy might
Hast established their offerings
Twice joyful are gods, twice joyful thy prince
Twice joyful be thou
Thou hast guarded, ancient order
Thou hast caused them to flourish
Twice joyful thy young, twice joyful thy men
Twice joyful the land
[Pre-Chorus]
Horus eye in the sky, see the boundaries are widening
Mayest thou now renew an eternity of thy rule
[Chorus]
Thy power is rising, enticing
The Son of Ra, divine of birth
Rule them forever, wherever
Guardian of the Sun
Egypt's protector, director
Immortal Horus made of gold
Rule them forever, wherever
Guardian of the Sun
[Verse 2]
He has taken the land, he has come to unite
A divine right to power
To fire the bow when no string's been drawn
As he slaughters the nine
Both protector and extender
Dread has smitten his foes in their land
Twice grateful are we, twice grateful the dead
Twice grateful our God
[Pre-Chorus]
He's the chosen of Ra, he's embracing the land, the law
Mayest thou now renew an eternity of thy rule
[Chorus]
Thy power is rising, enticing
The Son of Ra, divine of birth
Rule them forever, wherever
Guardian of the Sun
Egypt's protector, director
Immortal Horus made of gold
Rule them forever, wherever
Guardian of the Sun
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
How the two riverbanks they rejoice at your dread
You alone have extended their wide domain
[Pre-Chorus]
Horus' eye in the sky, see the boundaries are widening
Mayest thou now renew an eternity of thy rule
[Chorus]
Thy power is rising, enticing
The Son of Ra, divine of birth
Rule them forever, wherever
Guardian of the Sun
Egypt's protector, director
Immortal Horus made of gold
Rule them forever, wherever
Guardian of the Sun
