Flew in on a sunrise
Cruised a bumpy road
Found the hotel dreamy
Enthusiasm showed
Set out for adventure
Red and dusty path
Different temple structures
Relics of the past
We found the stairway
And reached the top
I took your hand
We didn't look, we didn't stop
Angkor, ancient cry
Angkor, mystical sigh
Angkor, city of old
Angkor, stories unfold
Angkor, faces smile
Angkor, make it worthwhile
Angkor, towers of stone
Angkor, never alone
Minds and muscles aching
On and on we went
Monkeys, beggars, sellers
Water heaven sent
Rocks and trees and bridges
Talismen of times
Finally we reached it
Overgrown with vines
We pushed harder
Left then right
Wiped the sweat
From our eyes
Angkor, ancient cry
Angkor, mystical sigh
Angkor, city of old
Angkor, stories unfold
Angkor, faces smile
Angkor, make it worthwhile
Angkor, towers of stone
Angkor, never alone
Avera hontu, Anigha hontu
Sukhi-attanam pariharantu
Centuries of wisdom
In the smokey air
Dedicated vessels
Beads and cloaks they wear
Do they see the future?
Wrapped in broken stones
Is it in their conscience?
Is it in their bones?
Find your desire
Find it here
Find a junction
Face your fear
Angkor, ancient cry
Angkor, mystical sigh
Angkor, city of old
Angkor, stories unfold
Angkor, faces smile
Angkor, make it worthwhile
Angkor, towers of stone
Angkor, never alone
Angkor, ancient cry
Angkor, mystical sigh
Angkor, city of old
Angkor, stories unfold
Centuries of wisdom
In the smokey air
Dedicated vessels
Beads and cloaks they wear
Do they see the future?
Wrapped in broken stones
Is it in their conscience?
Is it in their bones?
