The Moroccan king Mohammed 6 visited Essaouira just a few weeks ago. This is a feature installed for that visit down near the docks. The words below are from the song The King Will Come recorded by Wishbone Ash.
Ritual and Custom in Morocco
In the fire, the king will come.
Thunder rolls, piper and drum.
Evil sons, overrun,
Count their sins – judgment comes.The checkerboard of nights and days –
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand?
The checkerboard of nights and days –
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand?
