Under White Night

White nights glisten like bones
The humid air stupefies the mind
A city covered in gold
Born of battle and washed in blood
Carrying the light.

Rivers cover your young body
Beautiful palaces adorn your neck
Guests want to kiss your lips
But they don't want to see your back.

Hundreds of legends are like scars
Thousands of destinies are patterns on time
Events flash before your eyes
Joy and fears, victories and crimes.

You were drowning in the floods
You survived the flames
You gave birth and killed kings
They whispered your name.

Give me your hand
And take me away from this cruel world
And at the end I want to see
Your smile and naked thoughts.

Your grey sky is like a mirror
The sphinxes keep you alive
I sing a hymn to you, my beauty
You will live and thrive.

A city shrouded in mystery
Winds from all four sides
A young beauty dancing
Under White Night
Under White Night
Under White Night.
