centuries have passed
an ancient scroll was read
while their ancestors breed
the tomb contained the dead
the robbers stole the deed
the zombies had to contend
the priests prayed to intercede
a phantom was at its end
the slaves were freed
the symbols were not for the meek
the wind picked up speed
the strong were made weak
the pyramids held a creed
the mummy was lost in the sand
the ancient ones had a need
the sea turned into land
the caravan tried to proceed
the water dissolved the ships
the Nile gave life to breed
the dunes spoke without lips
while a silent figure rode his steed
the delta spoke
centuries have passed
