Lyrics

[Verse 1] Horus the Good lived in the North In lands of fertility and beauty But Set stayed in the hard desert To him belonged all drought and perversity And he sheds his tears Beneath the Boat of Millions of years And e fights to kill the hawk Bearing with him evil and darkness But Horus lives with the Sun [Verse 2] Forever the battle rages Evil tries to kill the innocent baby And only Osiris, the Lord of the Dead Can eventually save it So we must cast aside the future fears And call out on the Boat of Millions of years The God of Love is on our side And with him we shall not die... There's life in the Sun! There's life in the Sun! Only in violence is the cause lost: In peace, grey Set can't kill our baby of love Can't kill our baby of love [Verse 3] Horus, the son of Isis, lay in the marshes of Buto Poisoned by Set She called out to the High God Ra To kill this evil, that her child may live yet Casting aside her present fears She called out on the Boat of Millions of years... Ra came and saw And stopped the sun until he had cured The life of the innocent
