My name is Aeacus Sovereign of the city of Aegina Son of Zeus's adultery My state is doomed by Hera's scourge
Many suns have risen Since the overwhelming mist appeared Four times the moon rose Four times the wind didn't blew
Campaings were the first To be decimated by the miasmas Exhaling it each time closer to us
Aegina was besieged by disease
Now it has penetrated our doors And seized the whole city
Everywhere the eyes land Everywhere is the desolation None has hope for salvation
Half dead citizens wander in the streets The arms outstretched to the vault of the sky Shouting prayers that remain unheard
And here I remain Despising this life Eager to share the fate Of my fellow men
Everywhere one can see piles of cadavers Marked with the seal
The seal of the disease The one which putrefies the insides The one which decimates entire families
See the temple of the great Zeus How many sacrifices Were made there?
How many times the father died Praying hopelessly at The feet of the altar?
I saw scattered bodies on the sacred threshold
Cadavers lie unburied Many are burnt at the same time On the funeral pyre With nobody to cry their ashes
My people have been cruelly slaughtered As I pray stricken by so much pain The thunder struck as an omenTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
