Astronomica Lyrics

"Ancient Alexandria,

Site of cumulative knowledge, cradle of enlightenment

Levelled to the ground by the children of the crucified one,

Wiped away in blindness..."

The library, I have seen it's shade

Wittnessed how dignity and wisdom did fade

Ignorance! The flames of arrogance...

An act of indifference towards what was in our handsSternenstaub - Astronomica - http://motolyrics.com/sternenstaub/astronomica-lyrics.html

And turned to dust

Look to the stars, the mirror of the past

Now you seek to learn what in those flames did burn

The cosmic secrets will be revealed to me

The pyramides donate their knowledge of eternity

At astronomical dimensions I have glanced

We will regain it when mankind has advanced
