They told you 'bout the lamp... They never told you 'bout the price... I found gold buried deep in the sand, Devil in a bottle, power in my hand, Genie said, "Boy, tell me what you seek," Didn't know that every wish was makin' me weak. First wish, got a palace with a throne, Second wish, put a crown on my dome, Third wish, now the devil own my soul, Buried in the darkness where the dead kings roam. Gold on the walls, snakes in the hall, Hear the spirits whisper every time they call, Pyramids watch while the empire falls, King for a minute, then you lose it all. Three wishes... Three curses... Three doors... Three hearses... I wanted power... I wanted fame... Now the desert winds Only know my name. Three wishes... Three curses... The genie lied... Now my soul still burnin' On the other side. Jasmine cryin', shadows in the room, Every gift I touched started smellin' like doom, Treasures turned to chains, Diamonds turned to pain, Hear the pharaohs laughin' Every time it rains. See the cobra eyes glowin' in the dark, Every bad decision left another mark, I was chasin' heaven but I found a spark, Now I'm trapped forever in the after-dark. Genie smilin' while he tighten up the leash, Feedin' me a kingdom while he feastin' on the feast, Thought I got freedom, Thought I found peace, Whole time I was food for the beast. Three wishes... Three curses... Three doors... Three hearses... I wanted power... I wanted fame... Now the desert winds Only know my name. Buried with the kings... Locked beneath the sand... The lamp still waits... For another hand...
