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
