Flutes and pipes & Play a drunken rhyme
Entertaining & The soldiers in the palace
Naked bodies & Female slaves from Asia
Dance with promise & For a night of pleasure
Mouths smell wine & The feast is going wild
Victorious and glorious & The men exalt their king
As in a fevered dream & Thais is entering
And she provokes him & To do a special deed
"You have conquered & The capital of orient
Display your power & And make your enemies weep
Destroy their pride & The jewel of the desert
As they once destroyed & Our temples for their king"
"Burn this city to the ground
Take a torch and spread the fire"
Persepolis & Now a pile of dust
A blackened carcass & A land of ash
Persepolis & You lost your crown
Persepolis & Burned to the ground
Consumed by hate & Ablaze by pride
Persepolis & Naked as the sand
Persepolis
You lost your crown
Persepolis
Burned to the ground
"Burn this city to the ground
Take a torch and spread the fire"
ΟΙ ΦΛΟΓΕΣ ΑΓΚΑΛΙΑΣΑΝ ΤΟΥ ΞΥΛΙΝΟΥΣ ΤΟΙΧΟΥΣ
ΣΑΝ ΠΕΙΝΑΣΜΕΝΑ ΦΙΔΙΑ
ΚΑΤΑΒΡΟΧΘΙΖΟΘΝΤΑΣ ΣΤΟ ΠΕΡΑΣΜΑ ΤΟΥΣ
ΧΕΙΡΟΓΡΑΦΑ ΚΑΙ ΥΠΟΛΕΙΜΜΑΤΑ ΤΩΝ ΠΑΛΑΙΩΝ ΧΡΟΝΩΝ
Η ΠΕΡΣΕΠΟΛΗ ΚΛΑΙΕΙ ΕΝΩ ΟΙ ΦΛΟΓΕΣ ΑΠΟΜΑΚΡΥΝΟΥΝ ΤΙΣ ΣΑΡΚΕΣ ΤΗΣ
