lyrics

THE ARTIFACT

Its history is stained with blood
A rare antiquity
I thought I'd found it several times
But all were forgeries
This time, though, this time it's real
My men have felt the curse
Reaching out from ancient graves
Morale could not be worse

Spent my whole life searching, but I wish I'd never found
The artifact that will soon take my life
That precious relic should stay buried in the ground
Dig it up and you sure to die

Raid the tombs of kings
For archaeology
A legendary find
One that predates time
It comes at a price
Ultimate sacrifice
I can't think of worse
Afflicted by a curse

Spent my whole life searching, but I wish I'd never found
The artifact that will soon take my life
A precious relic that should never have been found
How do you prepare yourself to die?

Spent my whole life searching, but I wish I'd never found
The artifact that will soon take my life
That precious relic should stay buried in the ground
Dig it up and you sure to die
