They say the screams of terror from
The dying slaves & the loyal
We’re drowned out by the noise from
The blazing fires & sandstone walls

Their mortal shell stays – In the
Valley of the Kings
Worship the pharaohs – Children
Of gods
Their earthly symbols – In the Valley
Of the Kings
The unheard cries of the tortured
Souls lay buried deep in the bowels
Made thick unearthly air with a sense
Of sinister foreboding
Even the cold night sky saw not a
Cloud nor star was moving
Caught in the crossfire of sadness &
Fear of the pyramid
In the Valley of the Kings
