SACRED RITES Lyrics - Maria K. Glass / Music - Philip Wolfe

Traveling by Caravan across desert sands
It’s time to move on and see new lands
In the temples along the Nile
There I give guidance to the rank and file

You will revere me as a living deity
You will worship me throughout eternity

Trepidation lingers on at night
I must perform the sacred rites

You will revere me as a living deity
You will worship me throughout eternity

A mysterious stranger not quite a man
Has followed me to these desert lands

I feel his eyes are upon me
He knows the visions that I see

I see a future so alarming
You must heed my warning
Through my visions your soul I protect
That position it demands your respect

You will revere me as a living deity
You will worship me throughout eternity

You will revere me as a living deity
You will worship me throughout eternity
