By the flickering light of an ancient lamp,
By the twinkling waters of an ancient river,
The dancer entertains the heathen enemies.
This fascinating history forever etched in stone,
Is a monumental discovery
The lamp was also a discovery
New and unknown to the enemy
And under the pale moon
They were spellbound by dancer
The ancient river was once a stream
And was also once a sea
The enemy was once his kin
As once again they would be
And so he danced
