[Verse 1] The dunes were moving Like a living wall Sky turned copper Then it started to brawl Thoth traced circles In the burning air Pakhet stalked the edge With a hunter’s stare Bastet raised her crown Set laughed at the storm Old gangsters of the ashes Kept the desert warm [Pre-Chorus] Hear the people shout From the market stones Hands up to the gods In their painted homes Dust on their sandals Fire in their eyes When the storm came hard They rose and split the skies [Chorus] Respect the Gods Respect the Gods Thoth the Thot Pakhet the Phat Bastet the PAWG Set the GOAT Respect the Gods Respect the Gods Old gangsters rise Ashes to ash Storm to stone Watch them rule Watch them own [Verse 2] Thoth with the ibis head Cut the wind in half Wrote the first command On a slab of wrath Pakhet leapt forward Paw marks in the sand Every roar she gave Made the thunder stand Bastet moved like velvet Sharp as temple blades Every step she took Made the dust cascade Set at the front line Red in the haze All the broken ages Came back in a blaze [Pre-Chorus] Hear the people shout From the market stones Hands up to the gods In their painted homes Dust on their sandals Fire in their eyes When the storm came hard They rose and split the skies [Chorus] Respect the Gods Respect the Gods Thoth the Thot Pakhet the Phat Bastet the PAWG Set the GOAT Respect the Gods Respect the Gods Old gangsters rise Ashes to ash Storm to stone Watch them rule Watch them own [Bridge] Now the storm bows low At the edge of their reign Even sand remembers Every name in the chain Children at the doorway Lift their faces high Seeing old power Carve the sky [Final Chorus] Respect the Gods Respect the Gods Thoth the Thot Pakhet the Phat Bastet the PAWG Set the GOAT Respect the Gods Respect the Gods Old gangsters rise Ashes to ash Storm to stone Watch them rule Watch them own
