Valley Of Kings

(Album: Valley Of Kings - 2020)

I'm living through the the fall, fall, fall, fall
Came for life and lost it all, all
Now it seems that fortune or fate
Took your hand and swept you away

Buried as you are with lost years
And dead hearts in the Valley of Kings
Never quite asleep, never fully awake
I swear the sun never sets on this place

I'm living through the the fall, fall, fall, fall
Came for life and lost it all, all
Now it seems that fortune or fate
Took your hand and swept you away

Watching pillars crack and fall around
It lapses with grace, consumed in brilliant flame
Beneath the surface, do you hear the sound
Of a thousand lives laying under the ground?

I see a horizon covered in sunken cities
Old enemies now seeming so friendly
Perched whispering on my shoulders
They are standing around me
Father Time will gather his children to the tree
A traveler once said to me
That the wind dies at the end of the world
And if you listen very closely
You'll hear a story that's as old as time
The Illspring and the Well draw from the same ground
Light dies and I will miss this the most

I'm living through the the fall, fall, fall, fall
Came for life and lost it all, all
Now it seems that fortune or fate
Took your hand and swept you away

Watching pillars crack and fall around
It lapses with grace, consumed in brilliant flame
Beneath the surface, do you hear the sound
Of a thousand lives laying under the ground?

But the folly of man is his youth
There is no good left that the eye can see
It is a vapor in the sunlight
Valor sand slips through the hand
Many eyes to see so many truths
A man bearing down cannot hold what he's found

I'm living through the the fall, fall, fall, fall
Came for life and lost it all, all
Now it seems that fortune or fate
Took your hand and swept you away

Watching pillars crack and fall around
It lapses with grace, consumed in brilliant flame
Beneath the surface, do you hear the sound
Of a thousand lives laying under the ground?
