2. Valley of the Queens (2:25)
[egyptian]
my journey's over
I'm standing on the edge
and close my eyes
to this world of lies
my will is broken
it's the end of all my dreams
my soul yearns
for the valley of the queens
my rose has withered
it will never bloom again
the soil is dry
time has come to die
my faith has left me
they've stolen all my dreams
oh lay me down
in the valley of the queens
my search has ended
my name is carved in stone
on the temple wall
beyond Osiris hall
no holy sunrays
will light my tomb of dreams
I won't return
from the valley of............the queens
my journey's over
I'm standing on the edge
and close my eyes
to this world of lies
my will is broken
it's the end of all my dreams
my soul yearns
for the valley of the queens
my rose has withered
it will never bloom again
the soil is dry
time has come to die
my faith has left me
they've stolen all my dreams
oh lay me down
in the valley of the queens
my search has ended
my name is carved in stone
on the temple wall
beyond Osiris hall
no holy sunrays
will light my tomb of dreams
I won't return
from the valley of............the queens
