[Instrumental Intro] [Verse I] The harbor waits beneath the flame, Yet every sail has disappeared. The city keeps my father's crown, But every street has fallen still. These gates still bow before their Queen. These walls still wear the royal seal. If Rome has come to claim this land, Then Rome will learn my kingdom's will. [Pre-Chorus] One whispered lie. One shattered heart. "They say the Queen is dead." And everything begins to fall. [Massive Choir][Chorus] Alexandria! Guard the Pharos flame! Three thousand years Shall know my name! Alexandria! Lift the Double Crown! Empires rise... Empires fade... But Egypt won't bow down! [Verse II] He came with blood upon his hands. His final battle already lost. He found my arms before the dark, Then gave his last remaining breath. No banners flew. No armies came. No miracle remained. Only silence... Spoke his name. [Pre-Chorus II] No sword remains. No shield remains. Only this crown... And me. [Choir Expansion][Chorus] Alexandria! Guard the Pharos flame! Three thousand years Still speak our name! Alexandria! Hold the Double Crown! Though kingdoms fall... Though thrones grow cold... Egypt won't bow down! [Lead Vocal Only - Drums and Low Strings Only][Bridge] They offered chains Instead of gold. A place beneath Another throne. They offered Rome. I answered... No. I was crowned Beneath this sun. I shall not kneel To anyone.

Guard the Pharos flame! Three thousand years Remember our name! Alexandria! Raise the Double Crown! They conquered stone... They conquered gold... But never this crown.
