Constantinople

Washed my hands in
Holy water
Kissed the sun goodnight

Watched the light dim
On the mortar
Neath an angry sky

Are we humble?
Are we noble?
Do we still stand tall?

The walls of
Constantinople
Right before the fall
Right before we fall

Oh my brother
Start a fire
Set it all alight
In the ashes
Start it over
Anyway you like
Anyway you like

Your reflection
On the water
Distant memory

Of a moment
Gone forever
Washed out with the sea

Are we helpless?
Are we hopeful?
Do we still stand tall?

The walls of
Constantinople
Right before the fall
Right before we fall

Oh my brother
Start a fire
Set it all alight
In the ashes
Start it over
Anyway you like

Oh my brother
Start a fire
Set it all alight
In the ashes
Start it over
Anyway you like
Anyway you like
