[Intro]
Yeah — museum lights low, midnight bell tolls
Docent's flashlight flick, marble steps and scrolls
He moves when the gallery yawns, Brooklyn hum below
An Egyptian mummy, wrapped in October's glow
[Verse 1]
Granite halls, echo steps, catalog numbers in the night
Case glass trembles, placard reads: 'Pharaoh — lost his right'
Born where the Nile folds, crown taken in a sandstorm's spite (flashback)
Now linen lines tighten, midnight ignites 'em, ancient might
Museum guardian, artifact saver, sworn to reclaim
He stalks the wing where the relics sing his name
Bandages older than subway maps, tighter than fame
He checks each sarcophagus latch like a vigilante's game
Docent's flashlight traces hieroglyph ghosts on the wall
October chill licks the atrium, jack-o'-lanterns in the hall
He remembers a sand-swept throne, a stolen ring and all
So he keeps watch, keeps the crown's call—no artifact will fall
[Pre-Chorus — drop]
Footsteps hush, the beat goes thin
Lights dim low, let the story begin
[Chorus]
Bandages glow like subway lights
Granite halls hum October nights
Pharaoh guard, marble bite
Spirit double-time — jack-o'-lantern fight, midnight flight
[Verse 2]
Silhouette on marble, shadow like the Brooklyn Bridge
Chains rattle in the archives, but they can't rewrite his ridge
From pyramid dust to Manhattan gust, he rides the tide
He patrols the prints of centuries with slow pride
Internal rhymes ripple — linen scripture, scripture strict
Multisyllable muscle, every syllable click-click
He smells the oil paint, the citrus of candle wick
He sees small hands press glass, kids gawking, heartbeats quick
Subway rumbles underfoot, a city drumline pulse
He navigates curators' routes like a midnight waltz
Protector not predator — crown seeker, not a convulse
If the crown returns, it heals the past, lets history convulse
[Bridge — elevated stakes]
Midnight bell — one ring for the lost, two for the keep
Halloween wind whispers secrets that never sleep
He hears the oath: 'Guard the story, hold it deep'
If thieves come in shadows, he'll wake the hall from sleep
[Chorus — variation]
Bandages glow like subway lights
Granite halls hum October nights
Pharaoh guard, marble bite
Spirit double-time — jack-o'-lantern fight, midnight flight
[Final Chorus — climax]
Bandages glow like subway lights
Granite halls hum October nights
Pharaoh guard, crown in sight
Double-time, double-take — crown reclaimed, the museum ignites
[Outro]
So when you walk those marble aisles, feel the October chill
A guardian older than skylines keeps watch beyond the sill
He ain't just cursed, he's chosen — keeper of relic will
An Egyptian mummy in New York, Halloween spirit, standing still
(Last ad-lib: midnight — keep the crown, hold the night)
