Lyrics
[Verse 1: COUNTRY ONLY; male solo, dry guitar] [Male Country] Rented a truck, took a wrong turn south [Male Country] Sand in the engine and sand in my mouth [Male Country] Found a stone girl, her blue crown cracked [Male Country] Found its lost scarab and clicked it back [Male Country] She opened her eyes; my truck left the sand [Male Country] I hid the screwdriver behind my hand [Male Country] Gold filled the room; she floated in air [Male Country] Well, shoot. Didn't know you were in there [Hard stop; one beat of silence] [Ritual 1: EGYPTIAN A CAPPELLA ONLY; 8 bars; slow call and response] [Male Cantor] Nebet pet [Male Choir] Nebet pet [Male Cantor] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Male Choir] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Male Cantor] Nebet pet [Male Choir] Nebet pet [Male Cantor] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Male Choir] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Voices stop; one beat of silence] [Verse 2: CHILLSTEP ONLY; female solo, airy melodic lift] [Female Chillstep] My rivers wake, my gardens grow [Female Chillstep] The stars return to my old throne [Female Chillstep] A thousand kneel to watch me rise [Female Chillstep] You ask if dust got in my eyes [Female Chillstep] They praise the sun inside my chest [Female Chillstep] You ask if I could use a rest [Chorus: FIRST FULL FUSION; chants answer between lead lines] [Female Soaring] Long live us, long live us [Male Country] Your hand in mine and my boots in the dust [Male Choir] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Female Soaring] A thousand years, now the wait is done [Male Country] I took one wrong turn and I found the one [Male Choir] Nebet pet, nebet pet [Female Soaring] Let the whole sky fall in love [Female + Male Duet] Long live, long live, long live us [Drop: 4 bars; female vocal melody, chant, steel and sub] [Hard stop; one beat of silence] [Verse 3: COUNTRY ONLY; male solo, dry guitar returns] [Male Country] She fixed my truck with a wave of her hand [Male Country] Then parked a palace where it used to stand [Male Country] They served us dates on a golden plate [Male Country] I asked, does this count as a first date? [Male Country] She laughed so hard that her crown slipped down [Male Country] I caught it before it could hit the ground [Hard stop; one beat of silence] [Ritual 2: EGYPTIAN A CAPPELLA ONLY; worship, low unison] [Male Cantor] Nebet pet [Male Choir] Nebet pet [Male Cantor] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Male Choir] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Voices stop; one beat of silence] [Bridge: CHILLSTEP ONLY; female intimate, then soaring] [Female Chillstep] I've had a thousand men bow down [Female Chillstep] Not one could catch a falling crown [Female Chillstep] Stand by my side, not at my feet [Female Chillstep] I want a love, not another priest [Female Chillstep] No spell, no vow you have to keep [Female Chillstep] Just take my hand and stay with me [Hard cut: COUNTRY ONLY; male and one acoustic guitar] [Male Country] I can't rule stars, but I can dance [Male Country] Your Majesty, I'll take that chance [Guitar stops] [Ritual 3: EGYPTIAN A CAPPELLA ONLY; grow from solo to choir] [Male Cantor] Nebet pet [Male Choir] Nebet pet [Male Cantor] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Male Choir] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Final Chorus: FULL FUSION returns on the downbeat] [Female Soaring] Long live us, long live us [Male Country] Your hand in mine and my boots in the dust [Male Choir] Ankh, wedja, seneb [Female Soaring] A thousand years, now the wait is done [Male Country] I took one wrong turn and I found the one [Male Choir] Nebet pet, nebet pet [Female Soaring] Let the whole sky fall in love [Female + Male Duet] Long live, long live, long live us [Female + Male Duet] Long live, long live, long live us [Full stop] [Outro: dry spoken dialogue; no music] [Female Spoken] You'll need a title. [Male Spoken] Is boyfriend taken? [Female Spoken] It is now. [Male Spoken] Well, all hail me. [End]
