Verse 1:
In the heart of Byzantium, a city stands tall,
The walls of Constantinople, never to fall.
A thousand years of glory, the Roman Empire's pride,
But shadows of the crescent moon are gathering outside.
Pre-Chorus:
The cannons roar, the ground shakes,
The final stand, history makes,
The emperor and sultan, face to face,
The fate of empires, set in place.
Chorus:
Brothers in arms, defenders of the light,
Against the storm, they rise and fight.
Constantine’s stand, the last Roman breath,
Mehmet’s siege, a city facing death.
The fall of Rome, the end in sight,
The dawn of a new, eternal night.
Verse 2:
May 29, the fateful day,
The great chain's broken, the end of the way.
The Golden Horn, breached by the fleet,
The Ottoman force, impossible to defeat.
Pre-Chorus:
The cannons roar, the ground shakes,
The final stand, history makes,
The emperor and sultan, face to face,
The fate of empires, set in place.
Chorus:
Brothers in arms, defenders of the light,
Against the storm, they rise and fight.
Constantine’s stand, the last Roman breath,
Mehmet’s siege, a city facing death.
The fall of Rome, the end in sight,
The dawn of a new, eternal night.

Bridge:
The Hagia Sophia, echoes with the past,
The empire’s glory, not meant to last.
Constantine fights, with honor and grace,
Mehmet’s ambition, a new age to embrace.

Chorus:
Brothers in arms, defenders of the light,
Against the storm, they rise and fight.
Constantine’s stand, the last Roman breath,
Mehmet’s siege, a city facing death.
The fall of Rome, the end in sight,
The dawn of a new, eternal night.
Outro:
In the ashes of empires, a new world is born,
From the ruins of Rome, a future is sworn.
The last emperor falls, a legend remains,
The spirit of Byzantium, forever sustains.
