Songtext zu 'Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb' von World Party

Do you find yourself in darkness,
Do you find yourself in light?
That's a question I want answered.
Could you answer me tonight?
Could you give me some directions
In this cave of after-life?
Do I struggle with my conscience
As it struggles with my life?
In this blackness that surrounds me
But doesn't give me any room
There's so much that I forget.
Is that the curse of the mummy's tomb?

We're all the bold explorer
We all seek gold and fame
Out asking for directions
To the house that knows no pain.

And the casual traveler wonders
Who led us all astray
As he leans against the bar
And watches children play
In the blackness that surrounds them
Where there's never any room
But he's following his own quest
For the curse of the Mummy's Tomb.

There are riches here you cannot sell
So value then we don't
There are spies at every corner
Please help us they say "Won't"
There are special traps of wisdom
Devised to seize the fool

To entomb him with the Mummy's gold
There are demons who shout "Duel?"
But I'm too busy with my conscience,
I'm too busy with my gloom
Can you rid me of the fever?
That's the curse of the Mummy's tomb.

We started out together,
Our expeditions linke,d
But every student has a theory
The best he's every thinked!
And out vanity betrays us
And our nerve it disappears,
After crossing the dark threshold
Into loneliness and tears,
Could I travel into caves unknown,
Hear the dullest thud of doom,
Can I wander noisy silence?
That's the curse of the Mummy's tomb.

Buried deep within the mountain,
In the Valley of the King,
There's a passage way that leads there,
Where the wind whistles and sings
Of a time so long forgotten,
But it seems like yesterday,
When the queen was in her palace,
And the king was on his way
To the bosom of his family.
To the holy golden womb.
What was that love?
That's the curse of the Mummy's tomb.

If you want to know what happened here,
There is writing on the wall,
There are strange signs and ornaments
That'll really tell you all.
But there'e easy to misunderstand.
You have to tell the truth.
That's how you find the secret
Of her eternal youth.
THere are curses that are blessings.
There are clues in every room.
It's up to you now.
That's the curse of the Mummy's tomb.

Nobody there to help you,
As the apparition nears.
Nobody loves like she did,
Could take away your fears.
Was this what you were afraid of?
Life without the queen.
Forget it just remember
This life is but a dream,
And you know that hope's returning
Like a new bride to the groom
There's no curse ...
Just a Mummy's tomb.
