Send word to our allies We must call to the Western Empire for supplies Spies infiltrate, trading secrets for their lives Forge me a chain, to prevent our city's demise Fix the wall, sleepless streets Clanging steel against the anvils Watch the sea, bring their fleet Will we hold against the vandals? Suspend your disbelief Raise the flag and ring the town bell Hold out, await relief Break these foes who come from hell Haul our ships into the Golden Horn Blood-red moon, an omen forlorn On this night, the Byzantine Empire will fall Triple walls bombarded by cannonballs Men, you will stand this night! Fire your crossbows, set their boats alight Pain and death await the enemy What you do tonight will last eternity Fight! Men of Genoa, tonight is yours This is our final stand, follow my command Fight for your brothers, fight for your lives, don't fight for me And remember, be a hero... Flee, while you have legs to run Before the Janissaries come You cannot withstand Mehmed The conqueror, the mastermind Sultan's horde of troops surround you There is no escape, as the gates of the city collapse No reprieve from Venice now Constantinople's destruction is assured Fix the wall, sleepless streets Clanging steel against the anvils Watch the sea, bring their fleet Will we hold against the vandals? Suspend your disbelief Raise the flag and ring the town bell Hold out, await relief Break these foes who come from hell Wreathed in flames and plunder Byzantine Empire asunder Fly the flag of the star and crescent Now the throne has a new ascendant
