Alexandria
Soulspell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Born three hunderd years
Before Christ in Macedonia
Another myth that spred his name
Throught the unknown east
Warriors marching restlessly
Our dreams were fed by our glories
A nation opened to all
(Arlim)
Alexander the Great reached all
The lands he could touch with his own hands
Dreamed about a world of free men
The freest man ever lived
(Haamiah)
Persians striking at the crack of dawn
Two hundred fifty thousand men
But even with less than a quarter of them
We´ll enter into Babylon
Pharaoh in Egypt
Our dreams will feed our glories
Dreaming the men´s biggest dream
A nation opened to all
(Arlim)
Alexander the Great reached all
The lands he could touch with his own hands
Dreamed about a world of free men
The freest man ever lived
(Judith)
Loved by all
Royal blood
Beware of those
Who Think too much
(Haamiah)
Alexander the Great reached all
The lands he could touch with his own hands
Dreamed about a world of free men
He´s built a whole nation...
(Arlim)
...to all
The opening lines of Soulspell's "Alexandria" introduce us to Haamiah, who was born three hundred years before Christ in Macedonia, and has become a myth spreading throughout the unknown east. The song is a tribute to Alexander the Great, who dreamed of a world of free men, and Haamiah is one of the characters who speaks about the warrior's accomplishments. The lyrics describe Alexander's march to conquer lands with his own hands, as he foresees a new, vast world opening up to all people.
The song captures the grandeur and scope of Alexander's feats, from his invasion of Babylon to his dreams of a free nation. The lyrics also include warnings to beware of those who think too much, as Judith reminds us that Alexander was of royal blood and loved by all. Overall, "Alexandria" is a powerful tribute to a man whose vision and determination helped reshape the world.

@lestatv3 não vejo a música como competição... não precisa ser diferente ou melhor que nenhuma outra.. o fato de ser ótima como ela é já é suficiente para mim.

When I hear Alexander the Great, I am reminded of Iron Maiden's Alexander the Great.

MUito bom.

De diferente não tem mesmo, mas originalidade nunca foi sinônimo de qualidade. Mas se só som original e inovador te agrada, melhor procurar outra coisa pra ouvir. Melhor, é subjetivo, mas pra mim as composições são mais inspiradas que a maioria dos melódico ou metal óperas por aí. Melhor até que muita coisa doa avantasia, que tem muita coisa chata apesar de ser famoso. Então...
