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
