Desert Diamond

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
