[Verse]
From the Bosphorus to golden domes
Under shadow we call home
Janissaries stand in rows
Empires rise where the river flows
[Verse]
The sultan's throne a gilded seat
Feels the pulse of calls and feats
Marketplaces bustling loud
Empires raised above the crowd
[Chorus]
Ottoman fires burning bright
History written in the night
Tales of glory tales of might
Ottoman fires burning bright
[Verse]
Mosques that touch the satin sky
Minarets and pashas high
Intrigues weave in harem walls
Empires never hear the falls
[Bridge]
Golden horns and silk brocades
Whispers slip through palace raids
An empire never slows its gait
The Crescent Moon decides its fate
[Chorus]
Ottoman fires burning bright
History written in the night
Tales of glory tales of might
Ottoman fires burning bright
