In the northern lands of Thebes Under a heartless sun Three hundred lifetimes ago Here it lay, the Pharaoh's kingdom Horizon of the Aten So lived a child who would be king PRE-CHORUS 1: And so he lived and so he died A tomb than no man shall defile Forever lost are the fools who dare defy CHORUS: (The curse of the Pharaohs) Inside the Pharaohs tomb the wealth of ages A curse befallen those who seek the king (The curse of the Pharaohs) The lights of Cairo died with those who gave their lives To the shifting sands of time Came a man in search of glory In the Valley Of The Kings Unlocked a curse that doomed them all PRE-CHORUS 2: And so he lived and so he died And all who conspired paid the price Death will come swiftly to those who dared defy REPEAT CHORUS SOLO: LT REPEAT CHORUS x2
