Oh I wanna be there   Where the stones lie still around you   Oh I wanna be there   Where the fire will not harm you   There's a place I always go when I'm feeling lost   When I'm cold   And when there's no shelter from the storm   Iskenderun      So I fall back into myself   Stare at the pearl inside this shell      And I have to go   A world in the sun   The darkness is gone   Iskenderun   And I'm all alone   Under the sun   Iskenderun   Iskenderun      Another Celtic Telamon   Another Persian Salamis   There is no guilt not innocence   There is no us and them   Jerusalem      Oh I wanna be there   Where the stones lie still around you   Oh I wanna be there   Where the fire will not harm you      Look what they've done, look what they've done   Everything's gone, everything's wrong      So I have to go   Nowhere to run   Look what they've done   Iskenderun   And I'm all alone   Under the sun   Iskenderun   Iskenderun      Terrorists are walking around me   And I walk among them   War lords, Nazis, kamikazes   When will they   When will they stop      Oh I wanna be there   Where the stones lie still around you   Oh I wanna be there   Where the fire will not harm you      Oh but the truth is   This is a place   Where I've never been   And I've never seen
