In a distant place in time a pharaoh wandered   In his mind he could see a kingdom with this king they could not reason   Enslaved in the wish and the dream of a man who's planned their destiny   There was no way out   There can be no doubt   All he wants is his dream fulfilled and until the day when the kingdom's built   There is no way out   There can be no doubt      The blood will flow, a thousand souls plead for mercy   A thousand times over   You'll hear it on the wind   These sinners never sinned      Stone on stone they build till they day their life is over   They control with the whips and chains, they bequeath us with a life of pain   No way out of this place you gotta work until it's over   See the fire in the sky   In glory die   Cry if you must but die you will   The valley of the kings will still be built   See the fire in the sky   In glory die      The blood will flow, a thousand souls plead for mercy   A thousand times over   You'll hear it on the wind   These sinners never sinned      The king looks on and sees his dream arising   One's grave will be found in the end when his spirit's lost and one will be saved   And with him he will take it all jewels and gold will guard his soul   Feel the kiss on the wind   And the blood on the sand   It was built with flesh and blood   It wasn't built by any God   Feel the kiss on the wind   And the blood on the sand      The blood will flow, a thousand souls plead for mercy   A thousand times over   You'll hear it on the wind   These sinners never sinned      Na-na-na   Na-na-nahh   In the valley of the kings   Na-na-na   Na-na-nahh   In the valley of the kings   Na-na-na   Na-na-nahh   They're workin', slavin', it's your death that they lies in your fear   Na-na-na   Na-na-nahh   In the valley of the kings   In the valley of the kings   Na-na-na   Na-na-nahh   They're workin', slavin', it's your death that they lies in your fear   Na-na-na   Na-na-nahh   In the valley of the kings
