Once upon a time
In ancient times when everything was covered
in sand, in acient Egypt.
a powerfull amulet was made
from the most priceless metals
Shaped like a hand with rubins,
Shapphires, emeralds, blue diamonds
as a gift for a pharroas daugter
Given for protection, love, blessing and faith
I guarded whomever wore me agianst the evil of the world
When you wear me, you will never me the same
She wore me like it was meant to be
and I fell in love
Right there on her neck
Nestled against her heart
I heard things I have never heard about before
I felt things I have never felt before
as the Egyptian kingdom fell
I was removed from my home
and taken to Rome
Where I was used a pawn in a game
Between Aliances spending thousndas of years
For centuries I have witnessed
the rise and fall of countless countries
Kings, dynasties, monarchs,
Everywhere, I see symbols of myself
Calling me hand of Fatima
Hand of Miriam
Hand of Mary
But all of these is wrong
Only my one true love knows my name
