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 σf σur díѕtαnt pαѕt
whєn ѕαnítч wαѕ ínѕαnє
And our leaders void of shame
Disregarding their people's pain
For mirrors, garments all for fame Puppets just for the gain
