Luxor lyrics

Such magnificence left

That once attributed to

A great civilization lost

That eons have worn on

The years take away

Crumbling slowly off

With exposure's pride

Time becomes short

Decay's acceleration

On toward obscurity

Finds its way in there

Not easy to be seen

The living take a toll

Death's vapor hangs

And the salt dissolves

Waters dammed near

The treasures coloured

Fragment to dusty earth

Where men have rested

In the abyssal domain

History fades to brown

The colours, the details

Once sharp and strong

Revert to be the terrain

Even the mighty pyramids

Given the passing eons

Will like generations gone

Become a mound of dust
