xiphos – aristides كلمات اغاني

from the tribe antiochis there once was a man
when persian armies came about and marched into the land
a true champion of justice, this was plain for all to see
stood up in defence of his people who were yearning to be free
by some clever trick his rivals had him ostracized
but in dire need of his presence they all quickly reconciled
the rebellious and the sage
were united in dark days

so, sing for aristides
the just and honourable one
o, victorious at plataea
a hero at marathon

sing for aristides
the just and honourable one
o, victorious at plataea
a hero at marathon

themistocles made him realize that to secure lasting peace
it had become very important to turn the eyes towards the sea
the allied parties then appealed to our man of grand prestige
they made him a general and the treasurer of the delian league
as soldiers from the land
turned masters of the waves
so, sing for aristides
the just and honourable one
o, victorious at plataea
a hero at marathon

sing for aristides
the just and honourable one
o, victorious at plataea
a hero at marathon

at the end of his life he was a poor man whilst guarding a fortune
for he had given his services freely, never asking favours in return
but not all his next of kin were able to support themselves
the athenians graciously took care of them

and for a long time after he had gone
the city kept showing the kindness of her face
