The Eye of Ra (2017)
(A. Gateway to the Stars)
(Archeologist:)
I have finally found the key
To chart a course to the other side of the galaxy
I need to find the seventh sign
Carved into the cover stones of an ancient time
And Ra will live forever
He draws his powers from afar
And built a gateway to the stars
(B. The Eye of Ra)
(Marine:)
Unaware of our coming fate
We disappear through the ancient gate
We arrive in a desert land
And set up camp on thе burning sand
Behold, a thousand slaves
Mining ores in thе planet's caves
They give us shelter from the storm
Then Ra appears in a human form
(Native girl:)
Ooh, up there in space
The Eye of Ra is watching over us
(Marine:)
A tall ship descends from the sky
Lasers flare and many men die
A bloody battle has begun
We must destroy this 'king of the sun'
(Native girl:)
Ooh, up there in space
The Eye of Ra is watching over us
Ooh, an alien race
The Eye of Ra is watching over us
(C. The Seventh Sign)
(All:)
We have found the seventh sign
Down in the catacombs
When the seven points align
They will lead us all back home
