far across the sea

a piece of history

in Egypt's land

I'll build a city

beautiful and strong

beyond belief

a new metropolis

to redefine my destiny



rise and shine Alexandria

under protection of my name

pure, divine, and imperial



a place to watch the stars

the center of the earth

I see it all... my worlds converging

and to guide a king's armada through the night

I raise the seventh wonder to delight Poseidon



rise and shine Alexandria

under protection of my name

pure, divine, and imperial



make me the city of a living angel

casting shades all over Babylon

hailing me, a holy son of god

as a monument of time

and the goals that I achieved

make a sculpture of my mind
