xiphos - themistocles lyrics

this humble man, as fate decrees, must take this life of fire
yet all his dreams, are burning bright, he’s rising from the mire
a child among the low_born, stranger to the royal
maternal bloodlines flowing, from distant foreign soil

thank the gods, themistocles
for another, breath of life
you rise and fall like an empire
in struggle and in strife
the dreams that crumble and fade, will always find a way
all visions are remade, and live for another day

in city streets, this democrat, was champion of the poor
as magistrate, he used his mind, for justice and the law

archon eponymous
when power is the key
a leader at piraeus
and ruler of the sea
but when a boy of beauty, became his l_stful prey
another man of the hoplite_class, was standing in his way

the silver mines, at laurium, brought things to a head
themistocles, built his fleet, to paint the islands red
aris_tee_dees, immersed in sleeze, fell out of favour one day
his plans rejected, himself ejected, and sent far away
thank the gods, themistocles
for another, breath of life
you rise and fall like an empire
in struggle and in strife
the dreams that crumble and fade, will always find a way
all visions are remade, and live for another day

high victory, at salamis, dispersed the persian horde
concealing there, his strength and might, put xerxes to the sword
but when the smoke of battle cleared, the people turned their backs
the pendulum swung back again, and our hero faced the axe
amid the flames of jealousy, aristides took his chance
his rival fled the athens storm, as the fates began to dance
