Way back in time was a nation sublime
For they had what it takes to lead a good life
Foemen believed it's because of some secrets

They brought the fight and it never ended

Hush, don't cry

Deep in the night come the raiders
Shiver and pray
Petra will fall to the Great


Oh Nabataea
You came so far

Now gone you are
Oh Nabataea
You morning star

Now so afar
Nabataea


People desire and people admire
Some always try to reign with fire
So are the seals, hence the old Nabateans

Have disappeared under the wire

Hush, don't cry

Deep in the night come the raiders
Shiver and pray
Petra will fall to the Great


Oh Nabataea
You came so far

Now gone you are
Oh Nabataea
You morning star

Now so afar
Nabataea


Petra, you were a shining star
Unique in your time
Petra, 2000 years on we still

Suffer the same crimes
Petra, today we're trying hard
To reach your paradigm


We say no
To the ultra-extreme

No
To the killers of dreams
No

No!

Children, children have no fear

Soon we all will disappear
Children, children don't you cry
Make no sound or we will die

Once there was a land midst of the chaos
Floating like an island in old blood
People lived in peace, there was no hunger

Though they had no slaves, believe it or not
Once there was a nation without soldiers
Never brought a war to other lands

They lived without king or queen or ruler
Once there was the first democracy


Oh Nabataea
You came so far
Now gone you are

Oh Nabataea
You morning star
Now so afar

Oh Nabataea
Oh Nabataea
