In ancient days of Khem
A Pharao was praising
The sun above Amon
Osiris, Mother Isis and Toth
The gods would punish the hybris of Pharao
He wrapped himself in false sunshine
He was the founding father of the only God
But he provoked a fit of rage
[chorus:]
Son of the Sun, it was his name
Son of the Sun, the sun will burn your wings
Son of the Sun, beware of Aton
Son of the Sun, your God will let you down
The Sphinx burst into tears
And pyramids are shaking
The precipice is close
When Pharao is losing his faith
Visions of madness led the Pharao astray
The portents were too ominous
Until this day his curse is still the plague of Man
We must defeat the only God
[chorus]
Apep will rise
Apep will come
[chorus]

Therion è un gruppo musicale svedese fondato nel 1987 a Väsby, vicino a Stoccolma. Considerati pionieri del symphonic metal, hanno attraversato diverse fasi stilistiche, dal black metal iniziale al progressive metal, incorporando elementi classici, orchestrali e persino folk nella loro musica. Il gruppo è noto per le sue performance live epico-drammatiche e per l'utilizzo di un ampio range di strumenti, tra cui cori, archi e tastiere. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "To Mega Therion", "Theli" e "Cult of Fire".
