Septic Flesh - Persepolis lyrics

rate me

Flutes and pipes <br />

Play a drunken rhyme<br />

Entertaining <br />

The soldiers in the palace<br />

<br />

Naked bodies <br />

Female slaves from Asia<br />

Dance with promise <br />

For a night of pleasure<br />

<br />

Mouths smell wine <br />

The feast is going wild<br />

Victorious and glorious <br />

The men exalt their king<br />

As in a fevered dream <br />

Thais is entering<br />

And she provokes him<br />

To do a special deed<br />

<br />

"You have conquered <br />

The capital of orient<br />

Display your power <br />

And make your enemies weep<br />

Destroy their pride <br />

The jewel of the desert<br />

As they once destroyed <br />

Our temples for their king"<br />

<br />

"Burn this city to the ground<br />

Take a torch and spread the fire"<br />

<br />

Persepolis <br />

Now a pile of dust<br />

A blackened carcass <br />

A land of ash<br />

<br />

Persepolis <br />

You lost your crown<br />

Persepolis <br />

Burned to the ground</
