Valley of the Kings

Desperation on your own Let the kindred spirits go Keep on building, stone on stone Never fail, never doubt Stands alone, stone on stone I shall lie within this shrine Waiting for ten thousand years Free from preconceived ideas Isolated, hibernating Sleeping through the age of man Darkest hour before the dawn Patiently, silently Hanging on a single hope Clinging to a fragile rope Desperation, preservation Keeping the faith Too much at stake Do what the Gods say Every day the idea grows Money is no object so Keep on building, stone on stone Let the temple reach the clouds Stands alone, stone on stone Working on the grandest scale How could worshipped idols fail What is mine is mine you know Rights are not for you and so Keep on building, Stone on stone Make it strong and make it proud Stands alone stone on stone In this glory lies the key Mine is immortality Untold wealth hidden with care by stealthy people Promised riches stored in haste by urgent people Sworn on the good book, hard look, hardly a whisper away Sworn on the new faith, keepsake, keeping a distance away Jewels lie thick, as far as the eye As far as the eye can barely see Elegant crystal, the wishful Dragged through the sands of time for me Born from resistance, innocence Into the darkness the blind will be thrown Born from acceptance, vehemence Venomous promises innocent foes You will all hear me, all fear me Standing in line with your faith at your feet Do what your will has and fight back Come meet your maker, Your saviour! One man, fate unknown Born of stone on stone One flame lights the fire Dawn of stone on stone My faith will stand up alone Your light enriching the sacred stone One man, fate unknown Born of stone on stone
