Iskenderun

Oh I wanna be there

Where the stones lie still around you

Oh I wanna be there

Where the fire will not harm you

There's a place I always go when I'm feeling lost

When I'm cold

And when there's no shelter from the storm

Iskenderun

So I fall back into myself

Stare at the pearl inside this shell

And I have to go

A world in the sun

The darkness is gone

Iskenderun

And I'm all alone

Under the sun

Iskenderun

Iskenderun

Another Celtic Telamon

Another Persian Salamis

There is no guilt not innocence

There is no us and them

Jerusalem

Oh I wanna be there

Where the stones lie still around you

Oh I wanna be there

Where the fire will not harm you

Look what they've done, look what they've done

Everything's gone, everything's wrong

So I have to go

Nowhere to run

Look what they've done

Iskenderun

And I'm all alone

Under the sun

Iskenderun

Iskenderun

Terrorists are walking around me

And I walk among them

War lords, Nazis, kamikazes

When will they

When will they stop

Oh I wanna be there

Where the stones lie still around you

Oh I wanna be there

Where the fire will not harm you

Oh but the truth is

This is a place

Where I've never been

And I've never seen
