Amulets and hieroglyphs - Instrumental

1. Amulets and hieroglyphs
Charms and messages and myths
Drifting sands and green palm trees
Ancient Egypt鈥檚 mysteries.

2. Stories of the River Nile
Flowing north, mile after mile
Growing crops and farming land
Building temples in the sand.

3. Pharaohs, farmers, rich and poor
Slaves or scribes, at peace or war
Healthy times, or plagues and strife
Real people living life.

4. Baking, brewing, picking fruit
Playing tunes on harp and flute
Heads that turn and eyes that glance
Hands that write and feet that dance.

5. Ritual costumes, masks that scare
Fancy make-up, jewels and hair
See the pictures, read the signs
And relive those early times.

6. In their world mysterious
Weren鈥檛 they just a bit like us?
With games and toys and dolls and pets
And hieroglyphs and amulets.
