Valley of the Kings

The almond eyes of the sphinx she spies Timeless aristocrats of the Nile Breezes blow soft the sand is warm Slowly a thousand voices moan White rock warms as it sets forever White rock warms as it sets forever Together they work all through the day As the kings lay asleep in cool and shade A trail of men to the horizon Heaving the rocks along behind them The almond eyes of the sphinx she spies Years of toil Men grew old All their days They build a grave The sun it burns Sons take their place In glory kings all rise again The almond eyes of the sphinx she spies Timeless aristocrats of the Nile Breezes blow soft the sand is warm Slowly a thousand voices moan White rock warms as it sets forever White rock warms as it sets forever Years of toil Men grew old All their days They build a grave The sun it burns Sons take their place In glory kings all rise again Together they work all through the day As the kings lay asleep in cool and shade A trail of men to the horizon Heaving the rocks along behind them In the valley of the kings In the valley of the kings Lay undisturbed In their transition from earth (C) 1982 April Music Lyrics
