Ramesses

I stand before a sea of sand A hot wind blows across these lands The sun bleaches the bones, of those who build my legacy I am king, I am your god, I cannot die On holy ground, blood squeezed from the stone Listen my story it lives on and on and on A dying sun, the sands of time, a dreams slip away Corrupted by the passing of the years Like fuel to the fire it feeds my desire I bathe in the power and I will rise again The flesh and the bones, in statues of stone You will remember me Through death decay and the tears And I will live a thousand years The sand whispers my name Broke are the chains, left by the kings of old I am God, I am your light, I'll shine for ever On holy ground; blood squeezed from the stone Listen to my story it lives on and on and on A journey written in the stars, but dreams slip away Corrupted by the passing of the years Like fuel to the fire it feeds my desire I bathe in the power and I will rise again The flesh and the bones, in statues of stone You will remember me I am Ramesses, I am King, I am a living God Like fuel to the fire, in statues of stone You will remember me, I am the light, I am the life, I am the light in the dark Like a phoenix rising, rising from the flames I feed from the fire, life's purifier Time keeps turning, turning like a wheel My face and glory, carved into the stone And when I fall I will lie in the Valley of the Kings Like fuel to the fire, it feeds my desire
