Constantinople

[Verse 1]
Washed my hands in, holy water
Kissed the sun goodnight
Watched the light dim on the mortar
'Neath an angry sky

[Pre-Chorus]
Are we humble? Are we noble?
Do we still stand tall?
The walls of Constantinople
Right before the fall
Right before we fall

[Chorus]
Oh, my brother, start a fire
Set it all alight
In the ashes, start it over
Anyway you like
Oh, anyway you like

[Verse 2]
Your reflection on the water
Distant memory
Of a moment gone forever
Washed out with the sea

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, are we helpless? Are we hopeful?
Do we still stand tall?
The walls of Constantinople
Right before the fall
Right before we fall

[Chorus]
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
Oh, anyway you like
