Trojan Blue - Icehouse

The soldiers standing on the shore, shake up their golden shields

You watch them from your room, high on the city walls

In the distance on the shifting sea, a thousand coloured sails

Is this the moment you made?

Is this the way that you planned?

You know it won’t be long now

The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things

They never tempted you

So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on

As they burned for you???

The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue

You remember how it used to be when you were just a girl

Nothing really mattered then, you can remember so well

How you used to hold your head so high, those days will never return

The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things

They never tempted you

So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on

As they burned for you???

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue

Dust is drifting in the evening air, across the field below

The silver mirror, you hold will never tell… You turn your face away

The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things

They never tempted you

So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on

As they burned for you???

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue

The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
