Opening Song
Here we are AnatoliaA place in history
A land of mystery
A shining star, Anatolia
Oh so many years old
A tale that must be told
Let me take you back to a time
When heroes marched into war
And all the things that came before
Let me take you back to a place
Where lovers shone like the sun
They were living together as one
Here we are Anatolia
Where nations combine
Part of a grand design
We've got this far Anatolia
Now it's time to rejoice
Now let others hear our voice
Lyrics written by Robert Shaw
Act I Noah’s Flood
A million tears rain from the sky
And so many of the people will die
Then it will be time to start over again
With all of the lives that now remain
The clouds will then quickly disperse
When things can't get any worse
There is a light in the night
Tomorrow's sun will shine so bright
Where has the sunshine gone
It's been raining for so long
Will the heavens up above
Shine on us the light of love
And so a new day has come
Now that the battle has been won
The future is now at hand
Sending a message across the land
When the ark is on solid ground
And the answer has been found
The next chapter will then begin
All of the secrets held within
Where has the sunshine gone
It's been raining for so long
Will the heavens up above
Shine on us the light of love
Lyrics written by Robert Shaw.
“I SEND YOU”
I send you my son Japheth to Europe
I send you my son Sham to Asia
I send you my son Ham to Africa
Go now my sons and populate the world
Yes we must always understand
That though we are different races of man
We are all one with the same soul
Each of us playing a different role
And the only way for us to be free
Is to open our eyes and then see
That though our colour is not the same
We have within us a burning flame
there is no reason for us to be afraid
It was from the lord above we were made
And so together we find we are one
And the game has only just begun
So let us then be happy once more
And see what we are really living for
There's a journey to a distant land
To be the forefathers of all man
Lyrics written by Robert Shaw.
Act II Sumerians
“THE HONEY MAN”
He has sprouted, he has burgeoned,
He is lettuce planted by the water
He well- stocked garden of the plain
My favoured of the womb
My grain luxuriant in its furrow
He is lettuce planted by the water
My apple tree which bears fruit
He is lettuce planted by the water
The honey- man, the honey-man
My honey-man, sweetens me ever
My Lord the honey- man of the gods
My favoured of the womb
Whose hand is honey, His foot is honey,
My honey-man, sweetens me ever
Whose limbs are honey sweet,
My honey-honey, sweetens me ever
My sweetener of the navel,
My favoured of the womb
My sweetener of the fair thighs
He is lettuce planted by the water.
Lyrics written by Sumerians, approx. 5000 years ago
Act III The Hittites
Don't wanna get married
Don't wanna get carried
Far away, it's here I wish to stay
Don't know each other
Don't love one another
How can it be, is this my destiny?
If I give myself to you
Will we rule in harmony?
If I give myself to you
Will we find a way to be free?
Can't take the pressure
Can't find the answer
Now is it true, I was made for you?
Can't give without knowing
Can't see where I'm going
But it's OK, love will find a way
If I give myself to you
Will we rule in harmony?
If I give myself to you
Will we find a way to be free?
Lyrics written by Robert Shaw.
Act IV Helen in Troy
“ THE PRICE OF OUR LOVE “
My brother Paris
Why have you stolen Helen from Melanaus?
My brother Hector
I am in love with her and she loves me
My brother Paris
The Greeks will be angry and attack us
My brother Hector
Helen and I were always meant to be
The price of our love
Can't be to much to pay
The price of our love
We grow closer everyday
My brother Paris
This can only come to no good
My brother Hector
I know I can never let her go
My brother Paris
You must do this if you should
My brother Hector
This is my destiny I know
The price of our love
What will the future be
The price of our love
She's everything to me
Lyrics written by Robert Shaw.
“HELEN”
We run here from your land Helen, Helen
Agamemnon might be coming Helen, Helen
We run here from your land Helen, Helen
Agamemnon might be coming Helen, Helen
Helen, Helen, Helen
Helen, Helen I love you
I will never let you go
Helen, Helen I love you
I can never let you go
Our love is much stronger Helen, Helen
Apollo will save all of us Helen, Helen
Our love is much stronger Helen, Helen
Apollo will save all of us Helen, Helen
Helen, Helen, Helen
Helen, Helen I love you
If you go I will go too
Helen, Helen I love you
Now we are in Troy
Lyrics written by Dr. Sami Kent.
“WHO KILLED MY PARIS”We are all human beings
What is all this war
Is it what I pay for?
Loving for someone
This is inhuman
Haven't you honour
Who killed my Paris
Apollo curse him
Who killed my Paris
Apollo curse him
Life is an empty cage
Without my Paris
Troy is all burning
No one can escape
Who killed my Paris
Apollo curse him
Who killed my Paris
Apollo curse him
Lyrics written by Dr. Sami Kent.
Act V Antony & Cleopatra in Anatolia
“CLEOPATRA”
Cleopatra I'm so in love with you
Cleopatra make all my dreams true
Cleopatra I'd give up Rome for you
Cleopatra now what more can I do
Though the senate is against our love
Together we can reach the stars
And even if this means a war
Together we can win, that I'm sure
Cleopatra I don't care what they say
Cleopatra I still have you anyway
Cleopatra I'm a soldier in my heart
Cleopatra let us never be apart
Though history may prove us wrong
There's a meaning to this song
That others may all disagree
But only as one can we be
Lyrics written by Robert Shaw.
Act VI Richard & Saladin
“TELL YOUR BROTHER SALADIN”
Tell your brother Saladin
Let's bring an end to this
Together we can find peace
A target we cannot miss
Tell your brother Saladin
The time has come for truce
Together we can see the light
All this fighting has no use
I am Richard the Lionheart
The brave warrior King
Fighting this holy war
What will the new day bring
Tell your brother Saladin
We'll share the holy land
Together we can rule as one
I'm sure he will understand
Tell your brother Saladin
We will write a history
We can share our dreams
Of a world that is free
Lyrics written by Robert Shaw.
Act VII Rumi
“ RUMI, RUMI, RUMI”
Rumi, Rumi, Rumi
Fountain of knowledge,
Fountain of wisdom
Rumi, Rumi, Rumi
Philosopher of people
Your words are like rain
In a desert of ignorance
Your thoughts are jewels
In the light of experience
Rumi, Rumi, Rumi
The King of insights,
The King of laughter
Rumi, Rumi, Rumi
Magician of love
Your dreams are like light
In darkness of confusion
Your eyes see the truth
In a world of illusion
Lyrics written by Robert Shaw.
Act VIII Ottoman Show
“I JUST CAN’T LET YOU GO”
This is the story of our love
And it's only just begun
Beneath the heavens up above
I know there's nowhere to run
It's a simple choice to make
Between my world and yours
Whatever pathway I take
It's you that opens the doors
I just can't let you go
I love you more than you'll ever know
At night you're in my dreams
Losing you is harder than it seems
In your mind picture me
If you want to make it real
Somethings you can never see
Somethings you can only feel
There's a life I've yet to live
And a wish to come true
I've given all there is to give
Will my fate give me you?
Lyrics written by Robert Shaw.
“NILUFER”
Your father's castle there
But our love is here
You are my princess
I am your prince
Please don't go Nilufer
Please come back to me
This is my way of life
Different than your life
But our hearts are together
Please don't go Nilufer
Please come back to me
Please come back to me
Lyrics written by Dr. Sami. Kent
