Lyrics:
When our cities were on fire and the bells of Atland rang We swore to keep the words enshrined in blood and stone And when the men of Yamna came, riding from the eastern plains We fled into the hills as the hidden folk of olde And we inscribed our lore in discs of bronze to trace the pathways of the stars Ancestral stones still praise the sun, along the wild Atlantic shores And from the forests we watched them grow old while in their tales we became gods A Secret Byzantium, wherever there is knowledge Hidden in tradition, praise and adoration A mouth of fire, a sword of stars and silver A mind to set the world ablaze, our tongue is lightning Our shield tradition and memory, where there is knowledge we will find a Secret Byzantium Our voice was heard in Agdos rising from mephitic chasms As a falling star, our mother nourished Roma’s rise And the lord of Makedonia built a city by the sea There a temple rose, the fortress of our ken And as the towers fell we watched from afar (A crescent moon rise to the east) Now thousand voices drown our song (Confusion of this modern age) Abandoned now the Agora lies As the haze of burning books blinds the mind And so our glory passed with the pounding of hooves And every truth became a dream A mouth of fire, a sword of stars and silver A mind to set the west ablaze A Trail of Wisdom, We blaze through heathen darkness Where there is knowledge we will keep a Secret Haven A Secret Byzantium
