Istanbul

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 In the tunnel about to enter the arena
The Two captains side by side
Some familiar faces have returned
For others, the only chance in their life

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Thinking about its magnitude
And that some would never be their again
As the whole world viewed
Someone was about to make their name

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Like gladiators entering the battle
Some dared to touch the prize
How that would come back to haunt them
Others daren’t look, just turned away their eyes

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 A sea of red, white and black filled the stadium
One side clearly out-numbered
The spectators roared for their team
And came to honour the Spaniard
