Valley of The Kings
Saxon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You must journey 'cross the Sea
Find the secret Dynasty
Burning Sand scorching Sun
To the land of the ancient one
The hidden Tomb the last in Line
Lost forever in Sands of Time
You have no choice this is your task
In the Valley of the Kings
There he waits on golden wings
Break the seal and set him free
The Golden one your destiny
Waiting there for you to come
A royal prince the chosen one
Move the stone unleash the past
The one you seek you'll find at last
The boyhood king he walks the past
He hides behind his golden mask
Deep inside his tomb of gold
The greatest story ever told
Dig my friends set him free
Read the words the prophecy
Death will come on swiftest wings
Whoever moves this sleeping king
Carved in stone the book of death
The pharaos curse wil take your breath
Death will come on swiftest wings
For those who move this sleeping king
Heed you now the book of death
Beware the curse with every step
Shine the light the glint of gold
With racing hearts he past unfolds
Open now for all to see
A Pharaos tomb your legacy
In the Valley of the Kings
There he waits on golden wings
Break the seal and set him free
The Golden one your destiny
The song "Valley of the Kings" by Saxon is an adventure song about a journey to find a hidden tomb in the ancient land of the Pharaohs. The lyrics depict the harsh conditions of the hot and sandy environment one must pass through to find the tomb. The tomb is said to contain the remains of a boyhood king, who is guarded by a curse that promises death to whoever disturbs his resting place. The lyrics speak of the importance of finding the key to unlock the past, and the consequences of ignoring the warnings of the pharaoh's curse.
The song starts with the journey across the sea to find the secret dynasty hidden in the ancient land of the Pharaohs. The journey is not a simple one, as it involves crossing burning sands and facing the scorching sun. The challenge is daunting, but the reward is invaluable. The hidden tomb is the last in line and has been lost forever in the sands of time. The key to unlock the past lies within that tomb, and it is the singer's task to find it. In the valley of the kings, the boyhood king waits on golden wings, and the singer's destiny is to break the seal and set him free.
The song speaks of the dangers of moving the sleeping king, with death coming on swiftest wings for whoever disturbs his resting place. The pharaoh's curse is carved in stone in the book of death, and it promises to take the breath of whoever moves the sleeping king. However, the singer believes it is worth taking such risks to shine the light on the glint of gold and open the Pharaoh's tomb for all to see. "Valley of the Kings" is an excellent representation of the desire of human beings to understand the past and unravel the mysteries of ancient civilizations.
