LIGHTNING STRIKES (Translated by Ion Stamboulis)
Lightning strikes when you’re near
joy for all when you’re here
earth and sea and all of the sky
’neath your watchful eye
I will be dressed in white
just to hold you so tight
you’re the light and I am the heart
never shall we part
King of Kings, help the King, help the King
Mercy, mercy Oh Heavenly Father
Constantinos Dragatsis Paleologos
Emperor of Romans with the Grace of God,
At-the-Saint Romanus gate
Gallantly riding his white leg-ged mare
Mercy, mercy for the four times “beta“
Marmaras, Bosphorus and Black Tuesday
Shudder oh Sun, cry mother earth
The city has fallen, the city has fallen
The capital and the golden gate
And the purple-born at the Red Apple Tre
