| 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, hush, don’t cry
|
| Deep in the night come the raiders
|
| Shiver, shiver and pray, pray
|
| Petra will fall to the Great
|
| Petra will fall to the Great
|
| Nabataea, you came so far
|
| Now, gone you are
|
| 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 Nabataeans
|
| Have disappeared under the wire
|
| Hush, hush, don’t cry
|
| Deep in the night come the raiders
|
| Shiver, shiver and pray, pray
|
| Petra will fall to the Great
|
| Petra will fall to the Great
|
| Nabataea, you came so far
|
| Now, gone you are
|
| Nabataea, you morning star
|
| Now, so afar
|
| Nabataea
|
| Petra, you were a shining star
|
| Unique in your time
|
| Petra, two thousand 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
|
| 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
|
| Nabataea, you came so far
|
| Now, gone you are
|
| Nabataea, you morning star
|
| Now, so afar
|
| Nabataea
|
| Nabataea |
