Dear Constantine

from Lost Latitudes (EP) by Half Way There

/

lyrics

Out in the snow on the senate square in December
Before the winter palace we stand 3000 strong
Against nicholas’ forces—9000 members
they tried to negotiate, but they were wrong

Dear Constantine, why did you leave?
We stand out here on the square wishing you were king
Left our cause, left our country for love with a girl
Out here on the square in December watching the world unfurl

They opened fire upon our group, ripping through our ranks
We yelled, “Scatter!”—breaking form and slipping on thin ice
A cannonade. grapeshot. fire on every flank
For a liberal world this was the price

Dear Constantine, why did you leave?
We stand out here on the square wishing you were king
Left our cause, left our country for love with a girl
Out here on the square in December watching the world unfurl

Where will we go?
With this price upon our heads
Exiled into the cold
By a rule that wants us dead

Dear Constantine, why did you leave?
We stand out here on the square wishing you were king
Left our cause, left our country for love with a girl
Out here on the square in December watching the world unfurl
