The 5,000 janissaries were accompanying Sultan Mehmet deep into the capital city. The marching band kept playing their music proudly, while the janissaries stomped and chanted in complete unison, the words of the song: "O glorious army! O great soldier. Come to the glorious land of bastion smashers. A shield in one hand, and the dagger in the other. Let us advance to the border of death, O gallant soldier. May everything be victorious in this land, chanting the prayer, Allah is the greatest. Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. Let our army be immortally victorious!" The final destination for Mehmet is Hagia Sophia Church. Purchase and experience the love and respect Sultan Mehmet had for the divine capital city of Constantinople. Enjoy! Thank you.
