Sternenstaub - Astronomica lyrics

rate me

"Ancient Alexandria, <br />

Site of cumulative knowledge, cradle of enlightenment<br />

Levelled to the ground by the children of the crucified one, <br />

Wiped away in blindness..."<br />

<br />

The library, I have seen it's shade<br />

Wittnessed how dignity and wisdom did fade<br />

<br />

Ignorance! The flames of arrogance... <br />

An act of indifference towards what was in our hands<br />

And turned to dust<br />

<br />

Look to the stars, the mirror of the past<br />

Now you seek to learn what in those flames did burn<br />

<br />

The cosmic secrets will be revealed to me<br />

The pyramides donate their knowledge of eternity<br />

At astronomical dimensions I have glanced<br />

We will regain it when mankind has advanced
