Текст песни
[Куплет 1] Steps of limestone, hot beneath the leather soles Step right up, we’re stepping back in time Beneath a canopy where ancient history unfolds Listen close, i’ll translate every line See the carvings on the pillars where the ivy grows A thousand years ago, they watched the harbor swell Now the harbor is a valley where the citrus grows But the stone is here to tell [Припев] Under the midday sun, the empire comes alive We’re tracing shadows in the heat of afternoon And though the kings are gone, their stories still survive Carried on a yacht rock tune We’re walking through the temple in the golden light Captivated by the things they left behind Oh, let the rhythm of the ages guide your steps today We’ve got a world of yesterday to find [Куплет 2] Through the archway, notice how the marble glows In the courtyard where the merchants used to meet They traded olive oil and silks from lands unknown Right beneath your very feet They had a fountain here to catch the mountain breeze A little music for the weary-eyed And now you’re standing where the ancient poets sang With the ocean breeze outside [Припев] Under the midday sun, the empire comes alive We’re tracing shadows in the heat of afternoon And though the kings are gone, their stories still survive Carried on a yacht rock tune We’re walking through the temple in the golden light Captivated by the things they left behind Oh, let the rhythm of the ages guide your steps today We’ve got a world of yesterday to find [Аутро] Just a few more steps before the shadows fall Take a moment just to breathe it in The sun is high, the sky is blue above the crumbling wall This is where the stories all begin Yeah, this is where they all begin Let the music take you home again
