1453, a year that marked the end of an era
With one city's fall, a shift from Medieval to Modern
Constantinople, a name etched in time
For a thousand years, stood strong and sublime

Against foes that dreamed to take her down
She persisted, unbroken, a true crown
But tonight, everything changes
Guns fired, women weep, men yell in ranges

Praying to God for a savior's grace
To rescue their city, to restore its place
In history's twist, God answered their plea
Sending a new emperor, the one they'd need

Antonius, born of the seas
To lead the Romans, a new destiny
To reach another pinnacle of might
And end the city's terrible plight

1453, a year that will forever divide
Medieval and Modern, with a fallen city as the divide

1453: Revival of Byzantium

"Nay, had I power, I should Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell, Uproar the universal peace, confound All unity on earth."

-        Macbeth, William Shakespeare

On top of that singular word response 'no', the city council returned Mahumad Pasha Angelovic a particularly interesting letter of 'apologies' that definitely sounded like one in its use of words, as quoted in the letter "we cannot clear up the residences of our own citizens to give your highness' massive army a place to sleep, for our citizens shall freeze in the cold, we cannot afford prepare the stored food for the troops as our citizens shall starve, we cannot provide your army water to drink as your tens of thousands of men shall suck our well water dry, and we definitely cannot allow your defeated army in to our city, for you and your money shall only bring starvation, disorder, rape, lawlessness, crimes and plagues in to our beloved city."
