Nabataea

Way back in time
Was a nation sublime
For they had what it takes
To lead a good life
Foemen believed
It´s because of some secrets
They brought the fight
And it never ended

Hush, don´t cry
Deep in the night
Come the raiders
Shiver and pray
Petra will fall to the Great

Oh Nabataea
You came so far
Now gone you are
Oh Nabataea
You morning star
Now so afar
Nabataea

People desire
And people admire
Some always try
To reign with fire
So are the seals
Hence the old Nabateans
Have disappeared
Under the wire

Hush, don´t cry
Deep in the night
Come the raiders
Shiver and pray
Petra will fall to the Great

Oh Nabataea
You came so far
Now gone you are
Oh Nabataea
You morning star
Now so afar
Nabataea

Petra, you were a shining star
Unique in your time
Petra, 2000 years on we still
Suffer the same crimes
Petra, today we're trying hard
To reach your paradigm

We say no
To the ultra-extreme
No, we say no
To the killers of dreams
No, No!

Children, children
Have no fear
Soon we all will disappear
Children, children
Don't you cry
Make no sound
Or we will die

Once there was a land
Midst of the chaos
Floating like an island
In old blood
People lived in peace
There was no hunger
Though they had no slaves
Believe it or not

Once there was a nation
Without soldiers
Never brought a war
To other lands
They lived without king
Or queen or ruler
Once there was
The first democracy

Oh Nabataea
You came so far
Now gone you are
Oh Nabataea
You morning star
Now so afar
Oh Nabataea
Oh Nabataea
