After he died and the soldiers fired on him

A red mantle.

He died like an emperor as Julius Caesar

Heartbreaking heard the screams of women being raped

Inside the homes from the Turks.

There were bodies lying everywhere.

Every Turkish soldier caught any home

and wanted as his own.

Those who survived the massacres

were sold as slaves in markets of East.

Mehmet the Conqueror entered from the gate

of St. Romanos

Riding a snow white horse,

as happy as if he was passing the gate of paradise.

Walked among thousands of corpses,

dilapidated houses following the road

to Agia Sophia.

In front went the Janissaries, followed from Viziers

pashas - satraps, around his personal guard opened the way to go,

was the climax of an emperor.

When he entered in Hagia Sophia remained speechless

He said such temple was not rebuilt before

by a human hand,

And he dedicated the church

to the one and only god of Islam.

Then all together turned to the East and prayed

in Allah underfoot with knees touching the forehead

On the floor of the church of God.

Shouted after Mehmed-click quickly enough to run the city

What happened to the Constantinos Paleologos-

rulers of the city,

Just beyond the great duke waited Loukas Notaras

with some lords

Presents its compliments to us and worship

Always your servant said Lucas Notaras

Why not surrender the city

and left it to unjustly spilled so much blood.

Emperor signed the Union -betrayed Orthodoxy

We could not do anything said Notaras .

helped the Unionists and the emperor,

They wanted compromise.

Tsaousides to immediately find the big Vaziri

And to appear before me.

The head of Constantine was over for days

in column of Constantine.

When gathered the Greek aristocrats

in the great square,

executioners took their heads on the orders

of Sultan.

such horror

And cast forth as a tomcat front in Sultan

taking the form of death, and looked around for

For Mohammed had the form of an angel of death.

The great conqueror knelt and began to beg

Let him live a little longer.

How I wiil leave all this splendor he said.

Great Conqueror

Every man is a sacred entity

And not something lifeless without value.

Can not eliminate centuries of history and culture,

You can not write off Orthodoxy.

An invisible force kept immobile Ottomans

They could not shake hands - feet,

But they understand what happens.

Only with a flick of your hand, you can get thousands of heads

Nobody in history has had such power over human life.

Time has shooting-and you can lose your own head.

Nobody can tell me-what to make-answered Sultan.

Man I'm one day I will die-you who you are.

I am resourceful Odysseus King of Ithaca

Together with my colleagues live in the open,

Fearless warriors remain Same-Own-

making the journey of Eternal Return

Through the wormhole of big time.

Then you can understand me great king,

I've read that I've heard about you.

You lived the fall of Constantinople and know what pulled

Risked my life.

As long as there are people to be respectful of their

Answered wise Odysseus, and retired with his companions

No one can do anything.Sultan would make his own.

The warriors of light night left from Constantinople

Weeping with black tear. They left behind the city of cities

in the darkness of tyranny.

Ithaca is left without seens no one, a dense cloud darkened

the legendary ship.

Polymorphic Ulysses was shocked

That could not see for last time Beautiful Helen-Eleni.

Ithaca sailed proud for -Other-Byzantium

Serene democracy of Venice.
