Oh, *Father* dear, oh, did you hear
The rumor's
going 'round --
Your Divia is return'd from Hell
To dog you like
a hound.
Your friends and fledgelings all to kill
Your show to
ruin I'll bring
In payment for our last night in
The Valley of
the Kings.
CHORUS:
I've come to seek out my revenge
For
this and many things:
The night you took my head off in
The
Valley of the Kings.
'When to Pompeii you last return'd
Vesuvius did
roar,
Yet you in drunken stupor lie
By Pluto's fatal door.
'Tis
then I gave the gift to you
A god to heroes brings --
But still,
you did behead me in
The Valley of the Kings.
I saw you took the cameo
You did to me impart --
My likeness as a mortal girl
To keep by your still heart.
I
thought you loved me, *Father*, dear
Above luxurious things,
But
yet you did refuse me in
The Valley of the Kings.
CHORUS:
I've come to seek out my revenge
For
this and many things:
The night you took my head off in
The
Valley of the Kings.
Thought you I never could return
Stopp'd by a
blazing Sun?
You marked not the greed of Man --
Your handiwork's
undone.
For I'm too old and powerful
To die by any thing --
Not stake nor scythe nor crypt of stone
Nor Valley of the Kings.
Alone for two millenium
Stayed I within my tomb,
My native evil growing like
A baby in a womb.
Now that the
child has come to term,
The nursing babe I bring
In payment for
our last night in
The Valley of the Kings.
CHORUS:
I've come to seek out my revenge
For
this and many things:
The night you took my head off in
The
Valley of the Kings.
I'll kill your mortal playthings first
And drain
their blood to drink --
Except for those few sips I'll poison
With
the bishop's drink.
On th' youngest vampire friends of yours
I
next my mark will bring --
A suppurating evil from
The Valley of
the Kings.
Once friends and colleagues you have none,
I'll
set upon our kin,
For Lucius, one knows family
By sensing blood
within.
From youngest to the oldest one,
Destruction I shall
bring --
A gift brought by their grandma from
The Valley of the
Kings.
CHORUS:
I've come to seek out my revenge
For
this and many things:
The night you took my head off in
The
Valley of the Kings.
And when at last you are alone,
Spurned by all
that remain,
I'll come to visit you and gloat
O'er your eternal
pain.
For ne'er another you shall make,
And death no peace shall
bring
Because you took my head off in
The Valley of the Kings.
Should you try to kill me first --
Beware that in
this time
To kill your only daughter is
The harshest sort of
crime.
Then loneliness shall seek you out,
Eternal madness bring
--
And build a deeper prison than
The Valley of the Kings.
CHORUS:
I've come to seek out my revenge
For
this and many things:
The night you took my head off in
The
Valley of the Kings.
