Alexandria Lyrics
far across the sea
a piece of history
in Egypt's land
I'll build a city
beautiful and strong
beyond belief
a new metropolis
to redefine my destiny
rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial
a place to watch the stars
the center of the earth
I see it all...my worlds converging
and to guide a king's armada through the night
I raise the seventh wonder to delight Poseidon
rise and shine Alexandria
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial
make me the city of a living angel
casting shades all over Babylon
hailing me, a holy son of god
as a monument of time
and the goals that I achieved
make a sculpture of my mind
a piece of history
in Egypt's land
I'll build a city
beautiful and strong
beyond belief
a new metropolis
to redefine my destiny
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial
the center of the earth
I see it all...my worlds converging
and to guide a king's armada through the night
I raise the seventh wonder to delight Poseidon
under protection of my name
pure, divine, and imperial
casting shades all over Babylon
hailing me, a holy son of god
as a monument of time
and the goals that I achieved
make a sculpture of my mind

Something's not right here...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_of_Alexandria Looks right... Or what am I missing?

Alexander the Great was a Greek conqueror. If you're saying the "something wrong" is referring to Alexandria being "to delight Poseidon" despite being "in Egypt," well, there's nothing wrong there. Delighting Poseidon would be a reference to the Greek culture/religion of Alexander and his people, since he was the one who founded the city, and has nothing to do with the religion of the ancient Egyptians.
