The blues we speak
The blues we see
The blue beads of sweat
upon my back

Once upon a time
When the work had no cost
Just the sight of blue

Sometimes grey
Noticing something totally different
Then indigo

As we are more black
As our thoughts of forgiveness
is now pondered
The blacks are given for recovery

Darker the berry sweeter the juice
The thought of being made
To support

Sleeping
On our revival methods
Now, who we choose to catch
these blues with is a process
carried out in your dream
state of union.
 
The Egyptians also manufactured a material which we often call Egyptian faience or glazed composition. Faience consists of a quartz core with a glazed surface. The material could be modeled and molded, and because it was inexpensive, this material was used to mass produce many small objects such as statuettes, amulets, rings and ear studs. It was often made to imitate stone and used as a substitute for that material.


The color of the glaze depended on additions to the basic mixture. One of the most common colors was a blue-green, imitating turquoise, which was associated with the important goddess, Hathor, sometimes known as the "Lady of Turquoise". Also, the ancient Egyptian word for faience was tjehenet, from the root tjehen, meaning "to dazzle or gleam". Hence, the material also had a solar symbolism.

Soft stone, whether cut in place such as a rock cut tomb, or carved into blocks as in free standing temples, was usually covered by plaster prior to being decorated. Paint was sometimes also applied to hard stone, but often it was left visible for its symbolism. Hence, black stone such as granodiorite was representative of the life giving black silt left by theNile inundation, thus symbolizing new life, resurrection and the resurrected god of he dead,Osiris. Red, brown, yellow and gold were associated with the sun, and so stones of those colors, such as red and brown quartzite and red granite, symbolized the sun. Green stone referred to fresh, growing vegetation, new life, resurrection and Osiris as well, who sometimes appears with black skin and sometimes green.
