Lyrics Zorbas (Zorbas The Greek) - Mikis Theodorakis

Zorbas (Zorbas The Greek)

See them standing in the foothills
Waiting for the kill
On wings of fear the terror sweeps
Into the city beat
To defend
This is the pact
But when lifes scorned
And damage done
To avenge
This is the pact
On wings of vengeance
Taarna finds them
Death for barbarians
To defend
This is the pact
But when lifes scorned
And damage done
To avenge
This is the pact
Flying over the oasis
She is captured and they pull her down
Feeling pain
From the air
Close my eyes
And I am there
I feel Im falling down in a deep dark pit
«pull him down"the soldier said
«ill put an arrow in his head»
But the bird
Flew off instead
To save his master
On his back she fled
Her time has come
Riding her bird
High in the saddle
She gets her chance to fulfil the pact now
As their leader
Swoops from the clouds
She sticks him with her sword
Then she throws him down
The enemy shrivel and die
The enemy shrivel and die
To defend
This is the pact
But when lifes scorned
And damage done
To avenge
This is the pact
