They come later in the gospel. It's all very confusing.
If you mean the three wise kings, Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar, they are known collectively as the Magi.

The Day of the Kings, it is Three Kings Day.

My analysis. This is a very powerful and deep line from the song and you are trying to think of it in geographical terms instead of spiritual terms. But if you want to dumb it down to geography, they are three kings from "the orient" which would be east of Bethlehem; therefore, they would be westward bound to go to the nativity.
Becasue the word 'nativity' comes from the roman word, 'navitus', meaning to follow, like the three wise men and shepherds follow the star, leading to Jesus
The wise men or "kings of the orient" are commonly depicted in nativity scenes as three men of various ages and sizes, with no specific height or size mentioned in the Bible. They are traditionally portrayed as important figures who brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the infant Jesus.

The name The Adoration of the Magi is commonly given to the Christian subject in the Nativity of Jesus in art. It depicts the three Magi, who are commonly depicted as kings laying gifts at the feet of the baby Jesus.
