[Verse 1: Spiros Antoniou, Sotiris Vayenas & Both]

Flutes and pipes play a drunken rhyme

Entertaining the soldiers in the palace

Naked bodies, female slaves from Asia (Naked bodies)

Dance with promise for a night of pleasure (Dance with promise)

Mouths smell wine, the feast is going wild

Victorious and glorious, the men exalt their king

As in a fevered dream, Thaïs is entering

And she provokes him to do a special deed

[Verse 2: Spiros Antoniou]

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

[Bridge: Spiros Antoniou]

Burn this city to the ground

Take a torch and spread the fire

Burn this city to the ground

Take a torch and spread the fire

[Interlude: Sotiris Vayenas]

Οι φλόγες αγκάλιασαν τους ξύλινους τοίχους

Σαν πεινασμένα φίδια

Καταβροχθίζοντας στο πέρασμα τους

Χειρόγραφα και υπολείμματα των παλαιών χρόνων

Η Περσέπολη κλαίει, ενώ οι φλόγες απομακρύνουν τις σάρκες της

[Chorus: Spiros Antoniou]

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

Persepolis, you lost your crown

Persepolis, burned to the ground

[Outro: Spiros Antoniou]

Burn this city to the ground

Take a torch and set the fire

Burn this city to the ground

Take a torch and set the fire
