MARBLE KING

     For his thrown he shall live      for his people he shall die      all in a glimpse of  an eye      for something he believes in     in a heart were he retrieves in     to drink from the lake of love    for god and his one and only city.      The battle shall soon begin and the doors of hell shall soon burn down    as the great city awaits its fate but never in the deep soul of this warrior     living the love we never knew    trying to open the old gate of dreams while listening to the laughter from above      the laughter of childrens tears      for their once free gentle city        no word's can say it more          the city has fallen          the city has fallen.               Down went the flags of the city      eaten by the hate of mankind  and the death of an ordinary warrior king      who soon became a great myth  the myth of the missing marble king    who's body was never to be found    and his soul shall never be bound     by death on the great city wall          the city he was alive for   and the dream he lived and died for       to rule the heavenly city   where he grew up to become a king

Additional Notes:
this is a real Greek myth,once upon a time there lived a Roman Emperor by the name of Constantine Dragatsis Paleologos who was born with love for this heavenly city but the city was destined to fall into Turkish hands and Constantine who is also considered to be greek died just like any soldier on the walls of the great city,the city that was (to him) more important than his own life....the myth goes on to say that a lords angel covered Constantines body and hid him under the city where he was turned into marble and allot of people believe he will one day arise to go back to his beloved city. apart from alexandar the great and saint john the apostle,constantine was the last martyr emperor of constantinople(the heavenly city).
