Songtext von Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

Nine lives left so don't court disaster Nine lives left and time is our master Though we're walking slow our hearts beating faster Make our way to Istanbul Now the crescent moon and the stars that that reach beyond Whisper to us secrets I can only find in Istanbul Long time gone 'nuff roads we a travel Let me concentrate these puzzles unravel Not feh dance with death but look to the future For we reach the gates of Istanbul Now the crescent moon and the stars that that reach beyond Whisper to us secrets I can only find in Istanbul Darling take my hand And try to understand Many have failed to make it To pass on through the gates of Istanbul
