part i: the prayer

κάτω από τη σοφία σου
διοικούμε, θεοτόκος

++++
part 2: the advent

lightning! on the dome of the holy wisdom
a glooming sight of despair
for the final roman emperor
on the alarmed air
theotokos!
why have you forsaken me?

and when the bells, so somber
pleads the souls to pray
the ghosts enchanted
sweeps in the barren streets, astray

theotokos!
why have you forsaken me?
theotokos!
as you fade away from me

and from the sea to the golden h+rn
i watch the towers up high at my side
thе city of god, where the anciеnt glory of rome
now meets the eastern shores
n0ble mother, i open my arms to thee

i will endure the assault of the oppressor
and if the walls won’t hold the night
as they have done a hundred times
i won’t hide behind my crown
for the honor of the fallen warriors
who now stand in the halls of light
forebearers, i open my arms to thee
as the child out of its womb
the virgin leaving us to our doom
under an auspicious blood moon
yet our faith shall remain immune

++++
part 3: the fall

to leave the land of which i was once a son?
to yield the walls of my fathers and live, but forever lost?
if the will of god is the city must fall on this night
i shall fall at the side of the warriors who gave up their life

i lay down to save our legacy
not erased from history

my sons! do not forget!
for we too long have loved and prayed our god
to be afraid of the light

and if nothing remains tomorrow
only silence and fearful shadows

my sons! do not forsake!
tomorrow we wake in the halls of light
and shall be remembered like falling stars
fight! ride! to death! to glory!
i dare not live in utter scorn
nor die in such a dooming fate
the end of the line is nigh

++++
part 4: the lament

γιατί πουλί μ΄ δεν κελαηδείς
πως κελαηδούσες πρώτα
για πώς μπορώ να κελαηδώ
με κόψαν τα φτερούδια μου

με πήραν τη λαλιά μου
μας πήρανε μπρ’ αμάν την πόλη μας
μας πήρανε μπρ’ την πόλη μας
την πόλη μας
και την αγια+σοφιά μας

κλαίγει πικράν η παναγιά
