In the shadow of the rising sun
'Neath the ancient walls of stone
Stood the brave, defending their home
With hearts of steel and bone
Oh, Constantinople, proud and free
Your soldiers stand with dignity
In the face of fate, they hold the line
With their emperor, divine
From the Golden Horn to Theodosian walls
Echoes of battle cries call
Defenders of the city, hearts ablaze
In the twilight of their days
Oh, Constantinople, proud and free
Your soldiers stand with dignity
In the face of fate, they hold the line
With their emperor, divine
With sword and shield, they stood as one
Underneath the setting sun
Through storm and siege, through fire's light
They fought with all their might
Emperor Constantine, steadfast and bold
A leader's tale, forever told
In his eyes, a vision of hope
As he faced the end of his rope
Oh, Constantinople, proud and free
Your soldiers stand with dignity
In the face of fate, they hold the line
With their emperor, divine
Though the city fell, their spirits rise
A legacy that never dies
In every heart, the tale is told
Of Constantinople's brave and bold
