Quest - pilgrim

Across the shimmering wasteland

In temples bathed in gold

Preserved by beasts of legend

Are treasures rich and old

The massive gates grind open

When uttered magic rites

Equipt with sword and lantern

I quest for what’s inside

Upon the dust-hewn altar

A crystal shines its light

Defended by the keeper

The jewel of endless life

A battle with the keeper

The evil pharaoh’s blight

He raises his wand towards me

I raise my sword to fight
