Verse
In astonishing colours the East meets the West
The hill-banks arise in their green
In wonder I sit on my empty chest
As we glide down the strait in between

In search of a bond
Distant church bells toll
For their god they chant and troll

Veiled in mystery

Verse
My sun rose in the North and now sets in the South
The Golden Horn lives up to its name
From tower to tower a chain guards its mouth
Unbreakable, they claim

In a search of a bond
Adventures lie ahead
Many knots lie unravelled on my thread
