Valley of the Kings

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

Which separated them from the

Procession outside who chanted

& sang aloud on this their most

Ceremonious of nights

Spirit of pharaohs - Rise to

The stars

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
