Inspired by W.B. Yeats' poem No Second Troy, this is a song about love, blame, and the destruction we sometimes leave behind. About a woman who refuses to apologize for being who she is, and the question of whether loving someone can ever justify asking them to be less. 🖤 # NO SECOND TROY Written, composed & produced by: DNJL Performed by: Margot Lennox © ℗ 2026 DNJL.

[Verse 1] dust in the daylight glass in the rain maps without borders streets without names one open window one last goodbye nothing behind me all of the sky [Pre-Chorus] there is no second troy there is no second troy [Chorus] i am the first stone i am the hand that built the wall i am the city of my own i am the skyline i am the light behind the smoke i am the city of my own [Verse 2] gold on the skyline ash on the ground walls without shadows lost and then found one bright horizon one steady flame nothing to follow nothing the same [Pre-Chorus] there is no second troy there is no second troy [Chorus] i am the first stone i am the hand that built the wall i am the city of my own i am the skyline i am the light behind the smoke i am the city of my own [Bridge] brick by brick stone by stone higher now on my own brick by brick stone by stone higher now city of my own [Final Chorus] i am the first stone i am the hand that built the wall i am the city of my own i am the skyline i am the light behind the smoke i am the city of my own
