Verse
In astonishing colours the East meets the West
The hill-banks arise in their green
In wonder I sit on my empty chest
As we glide down the strait in between
Bridge
To Holmgard and beyond
In search of a bond
Distant church bells toll
For their god they chant and troll
Pre-Chorus 1
Breathing history
Veiled in mystery
The sublime
The greatest of our time
Tsargrad!

In the court of The Prince

Verse
My sun rose in the North and now sets in the South
The Golden Horn lives up to its name
From tower to tower a chain guards its mouth
Unbreakable, they claim
Bridge
To Holmgard and beyond
In a search of a bond
Adventures lie ahead
Many knots lie unravelled on my thread
Pre-Chorus Part 1
Breathing history
Veiled in mystery
The sublime
The greatest of our time
Tsargrad!
