1453: Revival of Byzantium

AD1453, ayear that divides Medieval and Modern.
Caused bythe fall ofone city.
Her name isConstantinople.
Stood there for one thousand years.
Strong and firm asalways.
Persistent against all foes that dreamed totake her.
But tonight, everything changes.
The young sultan onthe outside.
And the old emperor onthe inside.
Guns fired, woman weeps, men yells.
They pray togod, for god will send them asaviour.
Tosave both the falling city, and their helpless souls.
Inthe twist ofhistory, god answered their call.
For god has sent them anew emperor.
Antonius, came from the seas.
Who shall lead the Romans.
Back toanother peak.
And end the terrible fate ofthe city.
Inthe year 1453.
