Valley Of Kings

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 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 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

(Years spent roaming through countless nights)

It lapses with grace, consumed in brilliant flame

Beneath the surface, do you hear the sound

(This road before me the end in sight)

Of a thousand lives laying under the ground?

(Years spent roaming through countless nights this road before me the end in sight)
