Pharaoh's Dream
Virtuocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring me the harem of joys
Bring me the money and the wealth
Bring me the diamonds and the gold
In the dark of the night within the pharaoh's dreams the goddess dancesa round the fire
With the golden glow she's shining around, holding the diamonds and the gold with laughter and joy
The moon is full and the stars they're shining so bright
Within the pharaoh's dreams, I am the chosen one
Within the pharaoh's dreams
In the dark of the night
an angel from the dream
brought me the visions of the future from the
anceint ruins
With the golden glow she's shining around, holding the diamonds and the gold with laughter and joy
Tonight is the time for the sacrifice
The moon is full and the stars they're shining so bright
Within the pharaoh's dreams, I am the chosen one
Within the pharaoh's dreams, he is the chosen one
Within the pharaoh's dreams
The song "Pharaoh's Dream" by Virtuocity is a story of a pharaoh who dreams of attaining more wealth, power, and pleasure. He asks for the goddess of the sun, harem of joys, money, diamonds, and gold to bring him these things. In the dark of the night, within the pharaoh's dreams, the goddess dances around the fire, holding the treasures he desires with laughter and joy. The pharaoh believes he is the chosen one and that the angel of his dream has brought him visions of the future from ancient ruins. The song highlights the pharaoh's relentless ambition to attain more wealth and power, even if it means sacrificing something in the process.
The lyrics of "Pharaoh's Dream" showcase the dynamics of power, ambition, and greed that can take over an individual's psyche, especially in a position of authority. The pharaoh's obsession with wealth leads to his belief that he is the chosen one, and he is willing to perform a sacrifice if that is what it takes to achieve his dreams. The song also has some underlying threads of mythology, incorporating the Egyptian goddess of the sun, gold, and diamonds, and the pharaoh's visions from ancient ruins.
