Emperor of Change

[Verse] From Rome to Byzantium the tides they turn Emperor Constantine a throne to burn New Jerusalem rise from the old dust Leave behind idols power we trust [Verse 2] Desert roads long shadows on the sand Pagan gods crumble through my hands Empire reborn under a blood red sun Bitter victory wars never won [Chorus] Constantinople rises truth divine Emperor Constantine leads the line Broken empires bow to the cross Rome to the east in faith no loss [Bridge] Great city on a hill with walls high Spirits lift to the sky they fly New gods whisper old ones die Empire's story echo never lie [Verse 3] Christian banners unfurled for all to see Constantine dreamt this was to be Holy war rages dark forces sway Bright cross guides us night into day [Verse 4] In battles of old where legions fell Heaven or hell who can tell Empire's glory written in the stone He stands alone fate so cold
