Song language: English
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 |
