[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
