[Verse] Lost in the sands where the rivers meet Ai Khanoum whispers from ancient street Marbled halls and golden dreams In the heart of silk route schemes [Chorus] Dancing shadows on palace walls History's echo in the bazaar calls Mystery of times long gone Ai Khanoum The dawn [Verse] In twilight skies where legends roam Stories etched in sacred stone Gardens bloom by the sapphire streams City from forgotten dreams [Chorus] Dancing shadows on palace walls History's echo in the bazaar calls Mystery of times long gone Ai Khanoum The dawn [Bridge] Ashes to dust yet the spirit remains Whispered by the winds across the plains Desert's breath and canyon's might Guardians of the city's light [Verse] Caravans carried tales untold Gem-laden paths of spices gold Silk and silver Wisdom's grace Ai Khanoum's timeless embrace
