Persepolis    Flutes and pipes / Play a drunken rhyme  Entertaining / The soldiers in the palace    Naked bodies / Female slaves from Asia  Dance with promise / For a night of pleasure    Mouths smell wine / The feast is going wild  Victorious and glorious / The men exalt their king  As in a fevered dream / Thais is entering  And she provokes him / To do a special deed    "You have conquered / The capital of orient  Display your power / And make your enemies weep  Destroy their pride / The jewel of the desert  As they once destroyed / Our temples for their king"    "Burn this city to the ground  Take a torch and spread the fire"    Persepolis / Now a pile of dust  A blackened carcass / A land of ash    Persepolis / You lost your crown  Persepolis / Burned to the ground    Consumed by hate / Ablaze by pride  Persepolis / Naked as the sand    Persepolis  You lost your crown  Persepolis  Burned to the ground    "Burn this city to the ground  Take a torch and spread the fire"    these lyrics are submitted by botas
