On Memphis of Egypt
There is another Memphis, not located in TN. Memphis, capital city of Egypt
Rated:

Avg Rating: (4)


On a stone cold night in Memphis
Once glorious Capital of Egypt
Alabaster sphinxes still honor kings

Centuries of shifting sandy desert winds
Buried temples, palaces, and pyramids
Now bait our eternal curiosity

Excavation
Sparingly bears fruits to share
Of the knowledge of your existence

Effects of Nature over time
Leave worn carved testaments
That still elude
