Wotan - Thermopiles lyrics

rate me

ky without stars

In the house of Hades

Nevermore sun

In the realm of shadows

I know my future

I know my doom

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid

Doom is written

In their number now

River of bronze

Flowing down the horizon

That is my future

That is my doom

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid

[Narration: the Oracle of Delphi from "The Histories" of Horodotus]

Oh, Ares! Bitter god of war

Fatal to the men, here I swear

They will never see our backs

Oh Zeus! A last look to the sun

Not yet hidden by the darts, no doubt for the choose

We'll be like oaks in the storm

And when the smoke of our pyres

Burning on the battlefield

Reaching the sky

Then you will know

Which was our doom

We were not afraid, we were not afraid
