A Matter of Concern

How can one be excited, when they reside in the land of the dead?
Being in spiritual form, never experiencing again the sweet taste of life
Beyond all physical pleasures, my spirit of these pleasures, just wish to be fed
No emotion here, never will I love again or will I ever be a wife.

I crave a human's touch, sadly something again I will never have of possess
The memory of these things reside now only in my spiritual mind
These petty physical pleasures, I really do miss, to this I must confess
So eternal life, is not such a great thing, when to this place, I feel totally confined.

I though after I safely made it to the land of the dead, after the Egyptian Gods lead the way
I would be in a place of total happiness and bliss
But physical things, I so miss, I hate the thought of being here forever and a day
The very thought repulses me of forever being here, with the after life sharing an eternal kiss.

All Egyptians strive for the very same thing, the happiness and eternal being
Having all the incantations I need provided to me by my loyal subjects and followers
To make it to my spiritual plane, where my ka is an eternal being
Being a pharaoh, in every walk of life, I always had very loyal worshipers and followers.

But now the loyal subjects are no longer by my side
Here in this land of no return, I am totally and fearfully all alone
I want to go back where I once was, the place I was before I died
The loneliness and yearning, that happens here, in this I just can't abide.

I know where my body is, within my tomb and my sarcophagus
My body preserved for the ages, to it I must return
I choose this freely, I'm not happy as long for physical things I lust
So now, I will forever roam, if you see me, I am a matter of concern.

I loved how you sealed it perfect with that final line.
Roses to you Lania
