Humanity has spent most of its energy trying to know
Trying to find out her origins, her purpose, her duty
We need to be as patient as the two colossi of stone
There Amenhotep III performs a silent vigil waiting
Never speaking, never moving, seated upon the throne
Eternity will find him there, still quiet, still unmoved
And though we try to question him, he will not intone
For his job is to watch, to wait, and to be ready to rule
When his children return, and we are no longer alone
