lyrics

Belvedere.

Belvedere
from the top of the mountain,
to the fancy fair.
We fell in love,
forbidden by the court above.
Belvedere, Belvedere,
is it time?

Where are you now,
Where have you gone,
Did the revolution catch you
on that throne?
Future King, now history
Can you make peace with your enemy?
Belvedere, pray to God.
Life cut short with a rebel shot:
Sarajevo, city of blood
I will plant for you a Forget-me-not.

Give or take
the steady state of this universe
common ground, that we ahve found
will keep us here
safe and sound.

Belvedere, Belvedere
we had a love,
the emperor could not approve
Shut us out, put us down,
surprise surprise
we're going to wear that crown

get ready now for the combat zone
Belvedere, will not you leave you alone.

Belvedere
you know I'll always care.
