it is written on an ancient scroll
found within the deep recesses of a pyramid
somewhere within the forbidding desert
after one crosses crosses the mighty river
traverses the sands that that shift
creating vast sky reaching dunes
walks into the region of light
where one passes into a sacred valley
then scales the great mountain
reaching sight of the deep sea
next to it, it is where the majestic temple is found
where it has been and will be for all eternity
yes sahib, it is a pleasing mirage
it is where one can find serenity among the plentiful gardens
next to an oasis of life giving water
under the rays of the holy warming sun
and the magical beams of the crescent moon
a sacred land reserved for the pharaohs
their sarcophagus hidden deep within the tombs
guarded by jackals and hissing slithering asps
promising you to a thousand deaths if you fail
your Egyptian adventure has begun
