Al Stewart - Constantinople

Across the western world
The fights are going down
The gypsy armies of the evening
Have lit their fires across
The nether side of town
They will not pass this way again
So here in the night
Leave your home it's time for running
Out of the light

I see the hosts of Mohammed coming
The Holy Sister bars her doors against the East
Her house has stood too long divided
The uninvited guests are breaking up the feast
She may not bid them leave again
So here in the night
Leave your home it's time for running
Out of the light

I see the hosts of Mohammed coming
I dreamed I stood like this before
And I'm sure the words that I heard then
Were much the same
It's just an old Greek tragedy they're acting here
Held over by popular acclaim
So here in the night
Leave your home it's time for running
Out of the light
I see the hosts of Mohammed coming
Al Stewart - Constantinople      Across the western world   The fights are going down   The gypsy armies of the evening   Have lit their fires across   The nether side of town   They will not pass this way again   So here in the night   Leave your home it's time for running   Out of the light      I see the hosts of Mohammed coming   The Holy Sister bars her doors against the East   Her house has stood too long divided   The uninvited guests are breaking up the feast   She may not bid them leave again   So here in the night   Leave your home it's time for running   Out of the light      I see the hosts of Mohammed coming   I dreamed I stood like this before   And I'm sure the words that I heard then   Were much the same   It's just an old Greek tragedy they're acting here   Held over by popular acclaim   So here in the night   Leave your home it's time for running   Out of the light   I see the hosts of Mohammed coming
