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 Tree

The city was the honest sword
The city was the spear
The city was the secret key
To all of Romania
Patience dear Lady
No need for tears
And be sure that when they're due
They'll be yours again

From Romans gate you did go
where you went I don't know
an Angel will return with you
when the time is due

In the church we will be
hand in hand you and me
joined in voices that shall be free
together we will be

Constantinos Dragatsis Paleologos
