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
