Ancient Prime

[Verse] Cappadocia carved in rocks so steep Lava flows whisper where secrets sleep Down in the depths where time won't trade Bazaars of shadow where legends fade [Verse 2] Plovdiv stands where the rivers meet Thraco-Roman echoes beneath your feet Every brick a story carved in bone Layers of empires call it their throne [Chorus] We are the roots the earth does hold Copper veins and salt worth more than gold Argos watches stars align with pride Who’s the oldest in this anthem worldwide [Verse 3] Varna’s chalices glitter in sand Oldest gold touched by human hands Black Sea whispers to the ancients call Echoes in waves as the temples fall [Bridge] Hallstatt hums where the salt mines gleam A lifeline drawn through an Alpine dream Prehistoric drums still beat their tune Ancient hills glimmer under the moon [Chorus] We are the roots the earth does hold Copper veins and salt worth more than gold Argos watches stars align with pride Who’s the oldest in this anthem worldwide
