The Kingdom! The savior will save us The Kingdom! The savior will be our guiding light For weeks now, it seems like we’ve traveled through limbo And at last we see her shine, Constantinople!
Sinners and the saintly will kneel! Sinners and the saintly will halt for Alexios The saints reign from heaven The saints! Swear him oaths of fealty and he’ll open up the way Cresting, the waves of crusaders Spilling down from off the hill Resting, the Queen of all Cities
Swear Alexios your word and then be on your way Expanses we traversed, starvation The desert, the hunger — it drove us to our breaking point The horses were cut and, little by little, the poor things were drained until one day they collapsed to the ground
Sinners and the saintly will march! Sinners and the saintly will go marching to their fate The saints reign from heaven The saints! Spirit and the body unite when pushed to the edge
Left behind Constantinople We swore to return what was theirs Blessed be the Queen of all Cities For all the lands and people lost, lost to Seljuk Turks Far off in the distance, I see Nicaea Far off in the distance, perhaps we’ll find relief Fortress in shrouds Shimmers on the lake Head in the clouds Coming down the hill
Long did I seek for a path to salvation Never could I wash off the scales from my poor eyes Long did I struggle to free myself from my chains Never could I break off the bindings of my guilt and shame
Sinners and the saintly will fall Sinners and the saintly are equals in the great abyss The saints reign from heaven The saints! When I take my last breath, I hope I can laugh and smile
But how can I live with this burden? How can I ease my heart before I die? Grace to the ones we have plundered I will never sleep the same Grant me healing rain
Rain now I will never be alone Weeping, trembling at the throne Golden eyes stare back at meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
