As Troy burned to the ground So did our love crumble Like the walls of Rome Like a tyrant’s throne, So did my heart fall to you. As the face of the fair Helen Launched a thousand ships to Troy When I saw your face My heart melted in place; I would sail a fleet for you. As the Greeks invaded the city So doubt invaded my mind As the Trojans bravely fought I battled, for I thought My heart belonged to you. As the Trojans faced defeat I, crying, watched you leave But though the city fell to flames And nothing else remains I kept my love for you. As Troy burned to the ground So did our love crumble Like the walls of Rome Like a tyrant’s throne, So did my heart fall to you.

The Burning of Troy
As Troy burned to the ground So did our love crumble Like the walls of Rome Like a tyrant’s throne, So did my heart fall to you. As the face of the fair Helen Launched a thousand ships to Troy When I saw your face My heart melted in place; I would sail a fleet for you. As the Greeks invaded the city So doubt invaded my mind As the Trojans bravely fought I battled, for I thought My heart belonged to you. As the Trojans faced defeat I, crying, watched you leave But though the city fell to flames And nothing else remains I kept my love for you. As Troy burned to the ground So did our love crumble Like the walls of Rome Like a tyrant’s throne, So did my heart fall to you.
