Ancient Egypt Unit - Mighty Pyramid

“Mighty Pyramid” is one of ten songs I’ve written on the subject of Ancient Egypt. The whole pack is available from my store.

The zip file contains:

1. PDF of the music

2. The lyrics in a separate Word document

3. An mp3 vocal backing track

4. An mp3 piano backing track

5. PowerPoint with both the vocal and piano tracks embedded (great if you have speakers attached to your whiteboard!). See the illustration to see the icons – the one on the top left is for the vocal, the one on the right is piano only.

6. PowerPoint of the staff notation

I hope you and your pupils enjoy singing the song! If you do you may want to check out my complete “Ancient Egypt” pack. It contains songs about Tutankhamun, the pyramids, the Nile, mummies, hieroglyphics, the Sphinx, toys and games and Egyptian gods and goddesses.

I’d really appreciate your feedback!

Happy singing!

Donna

3. Mighty Pyramid

Chorus:

Many years of strife.

All of Pharaoh’s life.

Building a grave.

Mighty Pyramid, where nobody would live,

but for all time the Pharaoh would unite with Re,
Great Sun God Re.

So many gods to please,
Pharaoh get on your knees.
Fill your great monument

with precious gold, silver, jewels

and take your army.

For you may need to fight,

before sun god Re unites.

The jackal, Anubis will protect the dead.

Chorus:

Many years of strife.

All of Pharaoh’s life,

Building a grave.

Mighty Pyramid, where nobody would live,

but for all time the Pharaoh would unite with Re,
Great Sun God Re.
