War Symphony (Act III) |
| Iron horses burn the land |
| Iron eagles sky attack |
| The dogs of war, now are loose |
| To devour through their pass |
| Rain of fire, metal storm |
| A roar of winds takes away our souls |
| Carve my stone, carve my name |
| To the hires of flesh |
| Among the thorns I lay |
| …and I listen the war symphony |
| My last ode of ecstasy |
| The orchestra plays dark melodies |
| As I fall in endless sleep |
| When the wicked are confunded |
| Doomed to flames of woe unbounded |
| Call me, with Thy Saints surrounded |
| Low I kneel, with heart submission! |
| See, like ashes my contrition! |
| Help me in my last condition! |
| …and I listen the war symphony |
| My last ode of ecstasy |
| The orchestra plays dark melodies |
| As I sink in bottomeless seas |
| «Confutatis maledictis |
| Flammis acribus addictis: |
| Voca me cum benedictis |
| Oro supplex et acclinis |
| Cor contritum quasi cinis: |
| Gere curam mei finis" |
| «We are like certain rickety guitars |
| Whenever the wind passes through, it sets |
| Astir our verses and their dissonant sounds |
| From the slack strings that dangle down |
| Like watch chains |
| We are like certain incredible antennae |
| That with long finger reach into the void |
| As on their tips the infinite resounds |
| But quickly they shall snap and trumble down" |
| (Poetry by Kostas Kariotakis) |
| (translation by Kimon Friar) |
