I ruin you because I can
I feel my might and touch my strength
I’ll breathe your ashes at the dawn
My slaves will burn

I ruin you because I can
You wreck and that has gorgeous smell
Your walls are flinders in my eyes
I clip and you are shredded

Alexandria, I lay my head beneath your legs
Alexandria, the city by the wisemen blessed
Alexandria, your beauty splendidly undressed
Alexandria

I ruin you because I want
A brick by brick, a bone by bone
No one shall drop a hint of doubt
Who is plebeian and who’s God

I ruin you because I want
For me, there is no law, no Lord
With secret knowledge I'm divine
I reckon you are only mine

Alexandria, I lay my head beneath your legs
Alexandria, here’s Nile with flaming taste caressed
Alexandria, let’s play the ritual of death
Alexandria
