Constantinople
We built this city
On eternity's blueprint;
An edifice of forever,
A monument to God,
But we live in time.
Time ate the stones;
It drank our health;
It stole our strength.
The city was of the world;
The world laid it low.
We wept at what was wrought.
All worldly things pass away.
We who mourned mere moonlight
Will inherit the sun.

Will inherit the sun.
