Far across the sea A place 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
