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
