The Wick

 the dirt road huts

deep in the jungles of Africa

the priest drinks his gin

looking to the stars for guidance


-----------------------------------


light the wick

hold the candle

the Dogon

map the stars

 

there in the sky

the starmen come

to take back 

the ark

----------------------------------


the starmen gave

the Dogon 

a golden ark


to hide in the jungle

until they return


with the lit wick

of the candle

they talk of battles

in the skies above


ten thousand years 

they wait for the starmen

to come back


-----------------------------------


light the wick

hold the candle

the dogon

map the stars

 

there in the sky

the starmen come

to take back 

the ark


x3 

----------------------------------


the day finally came

the people gathered to see

the starships land 


as the starmen glowed 

of blue light

they walked off the ship


grabbed the ark 

with metal rods

they carried it 

back to the ship


as the Dogon cheered

the starmen

placed the ark 

into the ship


the priest of the Dogon

came up to

one of the starmen 


the starmen 

handed the priest a gift

it was a golden candle

the priest lit the wick

with his torch

then said goodbye


-----------------------------------


light the wick

hold the candle

the Dogon

map the stars

 

there in the sky

the starmen come

to take back 

the ark


x4


light the wick

light the wick

light the wick


----------------------------------
