The Janissaries
Under devshirme
Chosen boys convert to ghazi
Trained by the sword and the book
Becoming one militant family
They conquer for the empire
They pledge their loyalty
To serve for the glory
Of the Ottoman royalty
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Hear the horns blast
Hear the cymbals crash
Panic as they attack
Cry as Baghdad is sacked
Hear the horns blast
Hear the cymbals crash
Panic as they attack
Cry as Buda is sacked
Hear the horns blast
Hear the cymbals crash
Panic as they attack
Cry as Athens is sacked
Hear the horns blast
Hear the cymbals crash
Panic as they attack
Cry as Cairo is sacked
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Chosen boys convert to ghazi
Trained by the sword and the book
Becoming one militant family
They conquer for the empire
They pledge their loyalty
To serve for the glory
Of the Ottoman royalty
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Hear the horns blast

Panic as they attack
Cry as Baghdad is sacked
Hear the horns blast

Panic as they attack
Cry as Buda is sacked
Hear the horns blast

Panic as they attack
Cry as Athens is sacked
Hear the horns blast
Hear the cymbals crash
Panic as they attack
Cry as Cairo is sacked
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
Might of the Janissaries
Fear into their adversaries
Cannons and dromedaries
Route opposing militaries
