The soldiers standing on the shore, shake up their golden shields
|
You watch them from your room, high on the city walls
|
In the distance on the shifting sea, a thousand coloured sails
|
Is this the moment you made? Is this the way that you planned?
|
You know it won't be long now
|
|
The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things
|
They never tempted you
|
So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on
|
As they burned for you...?
|
The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
|
|
You remember how it used to be when you were just a girl
|
Nothing really mattered then, you can remember so well
|
How you used to hold your head so high, those days will never return
|
|
The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things
|
They never tempted you
|
So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on
|
As they burned for you...? Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
|
The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
|
|
Dust is drifting in the evening air, across the field below
|
The silver mirror, you hold will never tell...You turn your face away
|
|
The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things
|
They never tempted you
|
So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on
|
As they burned for you...? Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
|
The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
|
The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
