It’s what the ancients taught in school,
the Nabateans too,
to the sun god you must pray
for sunny skies of blue.
But many times that didn’t work
and sunny hopes were foiled,
they should have asked the gods for clues
on where to drill for oil.
Today the sun is worshipped still
with oil scorned too soon.
It’s back to what the ancients taught
and Nabatean doom.
