Music: Steve Vai/Graham Bonnett
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 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
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
