Twelve Stars and an Azure Gown |
A maiden by the seaside was taken from her land |
On a bull across the waves until she reached a foreign strand |
Her father, a great king, less human than divine |
True godhood she would find — Twelve stars in azure skies |
Stronghold walls of Uruk, Etemanaki’s fane |
Mighty rock of Zion your legacy remains |
Aeneas left his mother Troy, summer birds search for new lands |
The goddess sends her siren’s call, across the continents |
On a strong white bull, the goddess rides |
In the darkest night twelve stars will rise |
Daughter of the east with an azure gown |
Our new Jerusalem we found |
And I saw brothers fighting, not for honour but for gold |
Enthralled by foreign agents like cattle we are sold |
Oh goddess grant me an answer! |
Pray, make me understand! |
Will the brothers fight forever? |
Can they be as one again? |
The goddess speaks: |
«My son. |
War is forever. |
He’s the father of all men |
But brothers once united will stand as one again |
My touch was felt in Dublin, my voice was heard in Spain |
Ten thousand years may pass by, but this fortress shall remain» |
There are shadows over Athens and Rome still lies in flames |
In these days when need is great, there’s no heroes there’s no saints |
But when the night is darkest, Prometheus' torch will burn |
And the goddess on a white bull — though she never left — returns |
