Maddy Prior & The Carnival Band Balthazar Lyrics

My tribe has bid me wander,
to seek and find my fate;
A trial to prove me worthy,
in the stars my future waits.

A journey open ended,
without a time or plan;
To find what I did not seek,
and then I could return.

Riddles to confuse me,
to find my trusting heart;
They send me on a journey
to show where I must start.

I will need their wisdom
to inherit in my day;
To learn to lead my people,
to find the perfect way.

Beyond the rivers of Cush I come
Tis Abay, Tis Abay
To the land of King Solomon
Konjo, Konjo,
Tis Abay

Oh Na Axum
Na Hyak Tana

The lover of the Queen of Sheba
Our mighty Queen Makeda

Oh Na Axum
Na Hyak Tana

She bore to him a little son
Who brought us the Ark of the Covenant

Oh Na Axum
Na Hyak Tana

The Ark is kept in a holy place
In the land of Axum we keep it safe

Oh na Axum,
Na Hyak Tana
