Aida - Another Pyramid

Another Pyramid from the Broadway musical Aida, with music and lyrics by Tim Rice and Elton John. I do not own anything. All rights belong to Tim Rice, Elton John, and Universal Distribution.
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 for 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
Ministers:
Build it, build it
Another pyramid
There will be a time for mourning
But for now put plans on hold
Ministers:
Hold
For I give the nation warning
That before the corpse is cold
Ministers:
Cold
We'll extend fair Egypt's power
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, 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!

This song makes me think of my friend Logan, because my school did this as it's Musical, and he was in the ensemble, and I watched him dance the whole time. It was awesome

[@lukemyers1222]

This is so Elton John.

[@queenmedesa]

[@parkerrising640]

I liked how it had all of the music from the show in order I just wish they had the speaking parts as well. (that are during the song)

[@Trunks1stApprentice]

My school did this in March. I was the Pharoh and liked to roleplay with some of the other cast member as our characters.

[@Bd7Batman]

@yourmom8530 My school is doing this too. I'm a minister, and because I missed a day, they made me the one who dies. Then Mereb kills me again in act 2, as a soldier xD

[@random_person3191]

My friend is the one who dies- and my other friend is also dying as nhebka(?) so two of my friends get to die and then mysteriously come back to life backstage

Ha ha, he says "we'll extend fair Egypt's powers," like it has superpowers. Super sphinx laser vision. Pyramid force fields. Ha ha. The line is "we'll extend fair Egypt's power."
