Once we were Pagans We sailed the seas to the North Black Sea the mountains We built temples to the Gods A thousand years and more History bound us Bright jewel cities from shore to shore New ways new homes Life would spread further The East and West An empire born Apostles came to spread the Gospel A new found truth but equally old Message of Love Unity Acceptance Another thousand years and maybe more The Son of God and Virgin Mary A symbol of sacrifice the Cross Old temples now they fell in ruins Our ways were blessed Our ways were torn The last to come the Sword of Islam Few hundred years more we learned to live With all the nations within our cities The flame still burnt – a gift of peace But at the turn of 1900s The line would end - all life would bleed Our people sent to death – our people scattered Across the land - across the seasTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
