Lie in Egyptian sands, Ethiopian overlord 

Royal mountains stand 

Guardian of the Kings 

Sleep in your dusty sea 

Silent shining desert diamond, sleep eternally. 



Eyes of a blinded lion, saw the age of the Pharoah come, 

And return to sand, 

Gold and silver gone stripped from your virgin stone 

Still you stand so strong and silent 



Frozen by the sun 



Desert diamond 

Stone leonine 

Desert diamond 

Stone leonine 



Silent shining 

Desert giant 

Ethiopian sons-diamond
