Intro
(Oh-oh) Rise up, Corinth
From the waves, from the stone
Verse
Golden gates on the isthmus wide
Two seas crashin', meetin' side by side
Temple high where Aphrodite smiled
Traders shoutin', ships piled high
Paul walked these streets, letters in the wind
Love is patient, yeah, it never ends
Chorus
Corinth, oh Corinth, you burn and you rise (rise, rise)
Through earthquakes shakin', you open your eyes
Canal cut deep, ships sail on through
Corinth, forever, me and you (you, you)
Hey-ya, Corinth! Strong as the tide
Corinth! Carry that fire inside
Verse
Brimstone fell, but you built again
Leather helms, warriors' grin
Pine trees sway on Acrocorinth hill
Ancient walls, they whisper still
From Mycenae days to Roman reign
Your story's carved in every grain
Chorus
Corinth, oh Corinth, you burn and you rise (rise, rise)
Through earthquakes shakin', you open your eyes
Canal cut deep, ships sail on through
Corinth, forever, me and you (you, you)
Hey-ya, Corinth! Strong as the tide
Corinth! Carry that fire inside
Bridge
(La-la-la) Cut the rock, let the waters flow
(Whoa-oh) Modern marvel, steal the show
From Paul's words to the canal's roar
Endless spirit, givin' more and more
Chorus
Corinth, oh Corinth, you burn and you rise (rise, rise, rise)
Through earthquakes shakin', you open your eyes (eyes, eyes)
Canal cut deep, ships sail on through
Corinth, forever, me and you (you, you)
Hey-ya, Corinth! Strong as the tide
Corinth! Carry that fire inside
(Yeah, Corinth!)
Outro
Rise up, Corinth (oh-oh)
From the stone, from the waves (hey-ya)
Corinth...
