Eternity

There is a boat made out of stars Beside a long slumbering king And a glittering throne of gold And a cross beneath a ring. The mummy wrapped in linen Has lapiz stone for eyes All his earthly holdings lie Nearby, or at his side. The walls are fired in colors With murals from his reign Next to him, the sistrum And earthen vessels contain His organs, heart and liver His brain is there besides And other special flasks hold Precious unguents inside. His sister was a Priestess His mother was a Queen On holidays, they'd walk the court And robed monks would sing. They'd chant long life and praises To the King and all his kin Good luck for him in battles: Their wish that he might win. His victories were graven In stone, around his tomb His losses more uncounted Each time the lotus blooms.
