Alexandria Lyrics

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
