Pyramid Lyrics

If you could see me i'm so far away
do you remember the life who shared?
It somehow seems so long ago
in your eyes i saw love
on the horizon will the sun shine again
out in the desert
the scream of a thousand men

Rising to the call
at first light of the dawn
how many of us now will see the new day?
heaving blocks of stone
through the sun and storm
to the crap of the whip
we cry out in pain
we give our life
for the glory of the pyramid
the blood we sow
is the price of the pyramid

you were sleeping when
the soldiers came
tied in chains took me away
into the night with all the other slaves
down the nile we sailed to our grave

in the bloody nae of the pharaoh
living adn dying for a dream so insane
dragging up the stone
till I'm skin and bone
higher and higher it grows every day

we give our life
for the glory of the pyramid
the blood we sow
is the price of the pyramid

afterlife! you're dreaming
afterlife! you're yearning
afterlife! for the king but not for the slave

higher and higher, touching the sky
it goes on forever
you were sleeping... my love
were you dreaming.. of me
if you coul see me... in dreams
life is fading... away ... is fading away
