Every Story Is A Love Story Lyrics

Every story, tale or memoir
Every saga or romance
Whether true or fabricated
Whether planned or happenstanceWhether sweeping through the ages
Casting centuries aside
Or a hurried brief recital
Just a thirty-minute rideWhether bright or melancholy
Rough and ready, finely spun
Whether with a thousand players
Or a lonely cast of oneEvery story, new or ancient
Bagatelle or work of art
All are tales of human failing
All are tales of love at heartThis is the story
Of a love that flourished
In a time of hateOf lovers no tyranny could separate
Love set into motion on the Nile's shore
Destiny ignited by an act of warEgypt saw the mighty river as it's very heart and soul
Source of life for all her people

That only Egypt could controlDestruction of her southern neighbor, justified
Nubia exploited, left with little more than pride, oh
