The Sun set over the Empire The land was laid to rest Three Pyramids in a line Below Orion’s vest The Nile is flowing by Just like the Milky Way Upon it sails a Dhow As does the Sun each day The Sphinx is looking East Toward the Sun arising Precession tells the tale Unfolding on the Horizon Aquarius has risen It is the new age dawn Twenty six thousand years will pass Before it is reborn And in between and in betwixt The stars sail like a fleet East is East and West is West And ne’er the twain shall meet Copyright © 2004 Pete Wilder All rights reserved
