Lyrics

They said it couldn’t be done,
That time flows in only one direction
But my equations said differently:
It’s easy, once you know the secret!

In a laboratory in the mountains, we plunged into darkness
And awoke in a desert, beneath a burning sun
They laughed at my theories
They said I was mad!
But who’s laughing now?
Who’s laughing now?

In the shadow of the pyramids, I gave you my love

You and I, in our silver suits,
Shimmering in the sun
What if someone had seen us?
Would he not have thought us gods?

In the shadow of the pyramids, I gave you my love

And a fire burns in my heart,
Like sun on desert sand
And the love that sleeps within my soul
Awakes at your command

We watched from a distance
As, silently, they laid the boy king to rest
How they must have loved him!
The procession stretched for miles!

Later that night, we stood on the banks of the Nile
And talked of the miracle that had brought us to that place
When, suddenly, you turned and whispered to me
The words I waited so long to hear

In the shadow of the pyramids, I gave you my love
