Greece

Flying high, saw the season change
the Ottomans, the Franks, the Europeans
shot my roof down, stole my precious jewels
put them in a museum to fill their lack of past

I saw it and burst in tears...



An ancient satellite base
a theatre of tragedy
something is still in my eye
bothering me, burning, hot steel

They had no respect... they burned it all down...



Oh lizard, serpent killer
Python killer
dragon killer
god of light
gifted of sound
universal harmony
Apollo

Oh enchanted celebrator
dolphin changer
pirate killer
husband of Adriadne
chaos and disorder
furious fun and laughter
universal rebirth
Dionysus

They killed you all,
they burned your temple to the ground
The ratio of one over three that rules the universe
no more... no more... it's too late

Something in my eye
cannot see clearly
cannot smile
Why do you forget...?




Aegean sea,
temple of Poseidon
oh tears of the past
the son did not change sails
"My king, the sails are black!"
"Oh my son.... oh my son..."

A king dived into the sea
to swallow his pain
the sea swallowed his name
Aegean sea, sea of lies...
sea of pain...

Something burning me still,
I cannot hold my tear...
Kill us all,
kill us all....




Serpents, black scorpions of hate
Lizard kindred, spider webbed brains
focus on destruction and power
barbarians of time
uncivilized brutes...
