Dura Europos - Signum Regis

Under the eastern blue sky

Siege tower stands still, so high

Leans on sacked town’s huge bricked wall

No one’s down there, no one at all

Only the howling of the wind

May be heard outside

It’s just an overwhelming pain

You could feel inside

See the endless line of slaves in chains

Disappearing from the sight of the scenery

Dura europos in ruins remains

Heaven, cloudless skies above

Echoes with tragedy

Dead bodies lay all around

Some left trapped under the ground

What lies behind such cruelness?

How could one be so merciless?

Only the howling of the wind

May be heard outside

It’s just an overwhelming pain

You could feel inside

See the endless line of slaves in chains

Disappearing from the sight of the scenery

Dura europos in ruins remains

Heaven, cloudless skies above

Echoes with tragedy
