Sternenstaub - 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 its shade Wittnessed how dignity and wisdom did fade Ignorance! The flames of arrogance... An act of indifference towards what was in our hands 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
