Another Pyramid

Another Pyramid is the Fourth song in Elton John's and Tim Rice's musical Aida

Lyrics
Zoser: While you've been away cavorting

Matters here have moved apace

Now I need you home supporting

All the plans I've put in place

First of all this means your wedding

You'll recall your future bride

For the way that Pharaoh's heading

Time's no longer on our side

According to the hawk god, Horus

Our most regal invalid

Is not that much longer 'fore us

Build another pyramid

There are many who'll be tearful

As our leader fades away

But our architects are cheerful

And each dog must have its day

If our country is to flourish

Then my son must take the lead

Be our inspiration, nourish

All our hopes our dreams our creed

Soon our monarch will have filled a tomb

Just like his fathers did

Summon Egypt's greatest builders

Re: another pyramid

(Build it, build it, another pyramid)

There will be a time for mourning

But for now put plans on hold (Hold)

For I give the nation warning

That before the corpse is cold (Cold)

We'll extend fair Egypt's powers

Egypt's glory, strength and style

We shall have our finest hour

Far beyond the mighty Nile

He must have a vault that's grand by

Any standards, floor to lid

Put five thousand slaves on stand by

Build another pyramid

Ministers: Build it, build it

Build it, build it

Build it

Zoser: He must have a vault that's grand by

Any standards, floor to lid

Put five thousand slaves on stand by

Build another pyramid!
