LYRICS:
***************************************************************************

Since ancient times there's been, a need for some security
To make sure that after death, our lives go on in eternity
We must be prepeared, for our travel through the night
Without a proper guidance, we'll be lost and never seen in the light

I am praying for what lies ahead
I'll be guided by the book of the dead

I make sure that I can leave, what to a world neccessary
I've got a spell surrounding me, on the wall they are falling a scenery
?Satisfactory? afterlife, I know is ?it good?
I feel the magic coming to me, and go on ??????

I am praying for what lies ahead
I'll be guided by the book of the dead

I am praying for what lies ahead
I'll be guided by the book of the dead

I am praying for what lies ahead
I'll be guided by the book of the dead

I am praying for what lies ahead
I'll be guided by the book of the dead
