Persepolis

歌詞

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"
