Lie in Egyptian sands, Ethiopian overlord
Royal mountains stand
Guardian to 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
Desert diamond
Stone leonine desert diamond
Lie in Egyptian sands, Ethiopian overlord
Royal mountains stand
Guardian to the Kings
Sleep in your dusty sea
Silent shining desert diamond, sleep eternally
Desert diamond
Stone leonine desert diamond
Desert diamond
Stone leonine desert diamond
Silent shining desert giant
Ethiopian sons diamond
