4:30

Last night,Our blood boiled
And we took up arms in aged battle 
Alas, when we parted
Moses's Rod lay between us

Who was Pharaoh?
And who was Jew?

So, we lay
Bodies cold, tongues sour
Sacks filled with grit
In the chill after a pour 

And when I heard the footsteps of dawn 
And Soleil sought us
I sought to mend that which was torn
To make my part yours

And my touch was a stone in a pond 
And once again a battle raged
But this time, Our fires burned 
All as a cock bore his message
