Proud Troy in flames while walls no longer stand, the fire rages on The wooden horse prevailed with pride, it broke through open gates Hector lay crippled and broken in the sands The heel of Achilles - lacerated To homeland shores triumphant greeks now go, they leave death behind An empty throne desperately awaits the return of the king
The highest waves their ships must sail At the island of cicones they called They slayed those men and took the gold Another victory they got But revenge did punish them Countless avengers now came As sun did set they had to mourn Six men per ship forever gone
Odysseus: “With desperate souls we fled, Our destination far ahead.”
Suddenly frightning storm clouds rose With might from the north Sent by Poseidon The god of sea and waves Rushing thunderstorms And lightning bolts so bright Eleven days they roamed!
On day twelve they rested at The shores of lotus-eaters land Odysseus: “A peaceful clan greeted me, Granted hospitality.“
Two messengers were sent to them For a friendly gathering. Tasted from the lotus fruit And dived into inebriant mood
Odysseus: “With pleasured souls they stayed, Their destination far away.”
Friends: “Leave us here. We want to stay Where we can be lustful, redeemed and free. Our homes are far away, to far to go to, We are where we belong.”
Penelope: “Ten years gone with the tides, Ten years of longing for Odysseus... Where are you, beloveth? Seeing your face and touching your skin again, Is the only thing I dream of every single night. Return to me!"
Friends: “Leave us here. We want to stay Where we can be lustful, redeemed and free. Our homes are far away, to far to go to, We are where we belong.”
b: The Mourning
O what a terrible loss to them To leave their friends behind in foreign lands They mixed the sand with tears from their weeping eyes From their weeping eyes they leaked With force Odysseus had to drag His friends back to the ships And bound them to the wooden bench To abjure temptation To abjure temptation To abjure temptationTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
