lyrics

I want to eclipse the words of prophets and kings
I want to tell it like the world's been waiting
To move the soul like a storm sinks a ship
But that torrent has come before, I know, I know

I'm lucky to even have heard the foundation of the earth
And the whisper of a fool so long ago, I'm not noble cause I know

How long could my name survive the notice of babes
How many countless graves hold fame I won't taste
Just like a wave throws itself against the sand
To be reborn a million more, I know, I know

I'm lucky to even have heard the foundation of the earth
And the whisper of a fool so long ago, I'm not noble cause I know

This beggar mind won't leave scholared wealth
No monuments rotting on the shelf
No statue in the square pointing down
No hallowed words singing wonders I could never know, never know

I'm lucky to even have heard the foundation of the earth
And the whisper of a fool so long ago, but I'm not noble cause I know
(Alexander, what have you got)

Alexander, what have you got
Nothing has changed, only the name of the king
