By the Nile delta waters where the lotus flowers grow
Stone monuments reaching skyward ninety centuries ago
Years of plenty years of building temples to the sun
Ramses greatest pharaoh watching as the ages run
Great House of Egypt standing tall
Watching empires rise and fall
Your viziers and your mighty walls
Still echo through times halls
Battles won at Kadesh where the Hittite armies crossed
Treaties carved in silver ancient scrolls of wisdom lost
Abu Simbel standing guard beside the river shore
Tales of gods and glory written there forever more
Past the gates of Memphis
Through the desert sands of time
Ancient songs are calling
In the temple bells that chime
