Lyrics
Persepolis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 t 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
oi flóges ankáliasan tous xýlinous toíchous
san peinasména fídia
katavrochthízontas sto pérasma tous
cheirógrafa kai ypoleímmata ton palaión chrónon
i persépoli klaíei, enó oi flóges apomakrýnoun tis sárkes tis
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
