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...
of broken hearts,broken bones,
of warriors who have conquered the unconquerables,
of soothsayers who have amended the impossible,
of calls of freedom and whimpers of agony,
for the call of voices
and the echoes of tears,
the feel of skins and the dance of souls,
roaming,searching, finding,
the fascinating History for ever etched in stone...

of a land massacred and brutalized,
abused,violated, traumatized,
and finding it's way to peace.
