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
