"Castle In The Desert"

The desert Sun has passed again
and He received a thousand names,
but none like yours.
He may yet live a million years,
but we'll remember you instead,
our wise, brave king.

Zaphod, King
of our desert dreams...
Shining like the gold
of your age.
Being elder,
feeling wiser.
Your place won't change,
your strength won't fade.

Now from the big throne of your years
you watch that Sun and you don't blink
-He looks so weak-.
The time may seem like grains of sands,
but you'll remember to the end
the day she came.
Great King,
you should wear right now
a scepter for your perfect Reign;
a crown of stars.

Being older,
feeling stronger.

The sands might break,
the Sun might fade,
and still you'd stay
like a memory
made of stone.
Great King Zaphod,
don't stop ruling
in your Desert
through long, long years.


The music is that of the song "White queen (As it began).
