Island Death Song
The skies are black
And the sea is cruel
This island put its curse on you
There is no escape
It drags us all to Hade's gate
Too late, too late, to reason with our fate
The blossom falls upon the ground
It covers corpses, like a shroud
The Nesoi weep, upon their knees
As a civilisation, crashes into the sea
Eleos is deaf
To the Saints that cry for you
Your pain turns eternal
On Archimedes' screw
Hephaestus spoke and our vine is ruined
Fragments of our palaces, submerged along the seashore
Echoes of our voices, ripple across the harbour
It's the silence of our history
That whispers through the Mastic trees
To the pillars of Hercules
You are the Chimera, of the Caldera Seas
The wind in the black sails, that brings misery
You are the Minotaur, in our palace of dreams
The Mother of myths and legend, and antiquities
You are the song of an island, lost to the sea
Lost to the sea
Lost to the sea
Lost to the sea
And the sea is cruel
This island put its curse on you
There is no escape
It drags us all to Hade's gate
Too late, too late, to reason with our fate
The blossom falls upon the ground
It covers corpses, like a shroud
The Nesoi weep, upon their knees
As a civilisation, crashes into the sea
Eleos is deaf
To the Saints that cry for you
Your pain turns eternal
On Archimedes' screw
Hephaestus spoke and our vine is ruined
Fragments of our palaces, submerged along the seashore
Echoes of our voices, ripple across the harbour
It's the silence of our history
That whispers through the Mastic trees
To the pillars of Hercules
You are the Chimera, of the Caldera Seas
The wind in the black sails, that brings misery
You are the Minotaur, in our palace of dreams
The Mother of myths and legend, and antiquities
You are the song of an island, lost to the sea
Lost to the sea
Lost to the sea
Lost to the sea
