LYRICS
Oh, Constantine
Rome in 306
An Illyrian Roman Emperor,
He was proclaimed Augustus.
Before he died, founded a new empire
Baptized (you’re baptized)
A Christian (you’re baptized)
Convoked the Council of Nicaea
(Oh, Constantine)
Nova Roma was Byzantium
And now it’s called Constantinople
Oh, Constantine
Oh, a saint (of Byzantines)
With your edict you changed everything
AD 313
Ended the persecuting of the Christians
Oh, St. Constantine
Those Christians down there
The colosseum floor, wild beasts galore, resigned to become martyrs
But no more (no never)
Not anymore (no never)
No persecution whatsoever
(thank heaven!)
Nova Roma was Byzantium
And now it’s called Constantinople
Oh, Constantine, a saint, to Byzantines
Kept the Eastern Empire so serene
While in the west, it seems (was a mess)
Pandemonium and anarchy
Oh, Constantine
Oh, a saint (of Byzantines)
With your edict you changed everything
Oh, Constantine,what a guy!
Got no complaints
Now you’re a saint
Oh, Constantine!
Constantinople was your city
