mr. nicky - the byzantine empire lyrics
theodora:
the chariot race had become a riot
i told justinian, “stay and fight!”
constantinople was on fire
justinian:
but i built it back up, i built it back up
took constantinople and built it back up
i spent hefty sums, got public works done
the hagia sophia (the ‘holy wisdom’)
i built that back up, so won’t that make up
for all that procopius said i’m guilty of?
he made that stuff up
constantine, thank you for moving rome’s capital out near asia, where trade is just outrageous
these walls and seas protect our rich city from invasion, your name is in its phrasing
once this was a greek trading colony
now we run rome’s empire in the east
rome lost ground, and i won lots back, but i just couldn’t please the blues and greens, yeah
theodora:
the chariot racе had become a riot
i told justinian, “stay and fight!”
constantinople was on firе
justinian:
but i built it back up, i built it back up
took constantinople and built it back up
theodora:
rome’s laws sure needed updating
your legal code is such a legacy
it’s given women more rights
justinian:
yeah, i fixed the laws up, i fixed the laws up, i had a commission go fix the laws up
i fixed the laws up, and they’d get picked up by courts and law scholars all over europe, then look where they wound up
the pope is in rome while i’m picking patriarchs, we’re headed for the schism, a christian division
our eastern orthodox church_state has seen the west betraying our bishops’ religious convictions
thou shalt stop icon idolatry
ban this art, it’s our emperor’s policy
the church tears apart, pope gregory (ii & iii), how’d you like some pictures smashed by iconoclasts?
yeah, mind your place in church hierarchy!
you pray in latin, it’s greek to me
our liturgy is divine
but your mass is misled, you use the wrong bread, your creed is heresy and your priests never wed
we were sure empress irene could reign
and still pope leo (iii) crowns charlemagne!
just dump your latin church rites
and use our eastern ones ‘cause
cerularius is shutting you down
and your cardinal is disgusted
what’s this bull of excommunication?
st. basil help us! it’s worse than saying
istanbul will own our hippodrome site
theodora:
stay and fight! yeah!
the chariot race had become a riot
i told justinian, “stay and fight!”
constantinople was on fire
justinian:
but i built it back up, i built it back up
took constantinople and built it back up
i built it back up, so that should make up
for all that procopius said i’m guilty of
ok, that’s enough
