Alexandria

Perhaps it's a bad omen
 The flickering of the stars
 Perhaps it's a bad omen
 Sun's path to the west
 (Alexandria)
 Everything that flourishes
 Everything that vanishes
 Everything that is timeless.
 (Alexandria)
 But forgotten forever
 You'll shine again
 Alexandria
 Like the moon through the clouds
 Alexandria
 Alexandria
 You'll shine again
 Like the crowded chariot of the sun
 That spreads the morning light
 On the tears of lost men
 On the vanity of kings
 Like an evil shaman
 The desert wind drives
 From the sacred willows
 Ibis and Gods
 City of a world
 That builds and destroys
 Lady of deceptions
 Lady of illusions
 Cross-roads of poetry
 Geometry and dust
 City of eternal waiting
 For everyone and no one
 City of side streets
 Crossed in destiny
 Perhaps it's a bad omen
 The flickering of the stars
 Perhaps it's a bad omen
 Sun's path to the west
 Everything that flourishes
 Everything that vanishes
 Everything that is timeless
 But forgotten forever
 You'll shine again
 Like the moon through the clouds
 Alexandria
 Alexandria
 You'll shine again
 Like the crowded chariot of the sun
 That spreads the morning light
 On the tears of lost men
 On the vanity of kings
 Like an evil shaman
 The desert wind drives
 From the sacred willows
 Ibis and Gods
 City of a world
 That builds and destroys
 Lady of deceptions
 Lady of illusions
 Cross-roads of poetry
 Geometry and dust
 City of eternal waiting
 For everyone and no one
 City of side streets
 Crossed in destiny
 Perhaps it's a bad omen
 The flickering of the stars
 Perhaps it's a bad omen
 Sun's path to the west
 Everything flourishes
 Everything vanishes
 Everything is timeless
 But forgotten forever
