Byzantium Lyrics
The song Byzantium is performed by Kansas in the album named Somewhere to Elsewhere in the year 2000 .
Send Byzantium Ringtone to your Cell
City resting on a hill
can your walls repel the time of change
Under Pantocrator's rule
did your golden domes reveal
The frailty of the consequence,
the conqueror was real
Where the emperor once reigned
only shadows of the glories remain
No one sings your plaintiff song
of the Kontakion strain
Echoing through heaven's gate
to lovely to sustain
We're looking back to see your frazzled old walls
where is the road that takes us to Byzantium
Once your borders had no end
and your dream was like a shining light
To the nations you surround
did your golden domes reveal
The frailty of the consequence,
the conqueror was real
we're looking back to see your frazzled old walls
where is the road that takes us to Byzantium
we're looking back to see your frazzled old walls
where is the road that takes us to Byzantium
