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 Pharaoh 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
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 Pharaoh 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
