Crazy
Power, Dreams, and Interpretations: A Tale of Authority and Fate
Lyrics
Pharaoh, he was a powerful man
Pharaoh was a powerful man.
With the ancient world in the
He had control over the ancient world.
Palm of his hand
He held significant influence.
To all intents and purposes
His authority was absolute.
He was Egypt with a capital E
Egypt was synonymous with him.
Whatever he did he was showered with praise
He received praise for everything he did.
If he cracked a joke then
If he made a joke, it brought laughter for days.
You chortled for days
The people adored him.
No one had rights or a vote but the king
No one had rights or a vote except the king.
In fact you might say he
He leaned towards a right-wing ideology.
Was fairly right wing
Pharaoh's presence demanded submission.
When Pharaoh's around
When Pharaoh is present.
Then you get down on the ground
People bow down in reverence.
If you ever find yourself near Ramses
If you're near Ramses, show respect.
Get down on your knees
Kneel in his presence.
A Pharaoh story, a Pharaoh story
A narrative about Pharaoh.
Down at the other end of the scale
Shifting to the other end, Joseph is still in jail.
Joseph is still doing time in jail
Despite being with the guards, Joseph faces imprisonment.
For even though he is in with the guards
His future looks bleak.
A lifetime in prison seems quite on the cards
A lifetime in prison is likely for Joseph.
But if my analysis of the position is right
There's a glimmer of hope in the situation.
At the end of the tunnel
Light at the end of the tunnel.
There's a glimmer of light
Unexpected events unfold.
For all of a sudden indescribable things
Strange and indescribable things happen.
Have shattered the sleep of
Disturbing the sleep of both peasants and kings.
Both peasants and kings strange as it seems
Unusual dreams are prevalent.
There's been a run of crazy dreams
A series of crazy dreams occur.
And a man who can interpret could go far
An interpreter of dreams could achieve success.
Could become a star
Possibility of becoming a star.
Could be famous, could be a big success
Fame and success are within reach.
Could be a star
The potential to become a star.
