      @@Helloss73thanks so much for your kind words. We put a lot of effort in working out the lyrics. Being authentic to the time period and game setting. So I would love to share those. However I am not quite sure whether I can. We are working on more behind the scenes material from the Recordings right now. When it comes to it I will discuss this with the game studio.

    In the heart of every Greek beats the rhythm of the Great Byzantine Empire. In those hard and glorious times when the Greeks were building their God-given Kingdom on earth, every stone, every tile, every fresco was laid with faith, love and hope. It was a time when Byzantium was not just a geographical place, but a symbol of light, enlightenment and spiritual rebirth.
    The Byzantine Empire is not only monumental cathedrals where the echoes of prayers drift to the heavens, not only golden vaults and mosaics shimmering with all shades of blue and gold. It is the soul, the heart, the faith. Faith not only in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, not only in Jesus Christ who came to earth to bring redemption, not only in the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of us all. Greeks also believe in Byzantium. And this faith has not faded even centuries later.
    Faith in Byzantium is the highest chord of the Orthodox soul. It is not just a historical legacy or an ancient culture. It is part of the DNA of every Greek. The memory of Byzantium is a sacred spark that continues to burn in the hearts of many, reminding us that Byzantium is not dead. It lives in each of us, in every prayer, in every verse, in every gaze directed toward heaven.
    Mother Byzantium, shrouded in the magic of time, calls to her children. She reminds us that history is not just a series of events, it is our heritage, our blood, our soul. The Greeks have not forgotten the times when Byzantium was the pearl of the world, when its walls reflected greatness and wisdom, when its streets were filled with song and prayer.
    Let the outside world change, let empires rise and fall, but in the hearts of the Greeks Byzantium will live forever. They are ready to fight, ready to sacrifice, ready to give their lives for the revival of this great empire, because Byzantium is not just a part of history. It is a part of their soul, the source of their faith and an eternal reminder that the Greeks are a chosen people, a great people, a people who carry the light of Orthodoxy through the ages.
