The Valley of Kings

Sunlight fading as the dusk goes down

Trying to keep the news from getting me down

Should have known better than to trust this town

Most days she often wears a frown,

Depression seems just like a state of mind

A common side effect these days that you’ll find

Perhaps because all clouds are not silver lined

Can you feel those chills running up your spine?

At some time I met you in the Valley of Kings

Long before they discovered Saturn’s Rings

Long before the Japanese bombing of Kunming

For now I’d be happy just to hear the birds sing,

Shuffling down the road of human despair

Thought I recognized the color of your hair

Alas it was blurred by the asteroid’s fiery glare

It seems everyone has their own personal nightmare,

I stumbled upon the road to paradise

From the work of God it seemed very nice

Don’t mess this one up it never happens twice

This all could be expedited by a nuclear device,

The epitaph of this species known as mankind

More irony than you could ever hope to find

Characterized best by the blind leading the blind

Please Honey just a few nice words if you would be so kind,

I was out in the woods and fell into a portal the other day

It plunged me into another dimension I’m sad to say

It kind of put my situation in disarray

Find me at the extraterrestrial zoological display.
