Antigone

Lyrics

Behold crossing through the city gates
 Beyond walls too narrow for her fate
 Comes Antigone, as told by
 These old rhymes
 A brother that they chose to disregard
 And nothing more than an offended heart
 She doesn't fear to defy
 Decrees nor crimes
 No mourning for this deceased
 Soon the prey of ravenous beasts
 Excruciating sight of flesh
 Mundane frailty is all that is left
 An echo of these noble lines
 One more time
 Honor this mortal corpse
 (A veil of dust on the dead one)
 Hades wants equal laws
 (Two of us whom Death has won)
 Summon the inner voice
 (The city of stone and order)
 Love is the daimon's choice
 (Undergoes a tremor)
 ♪
 Defiance worthy of praise
 Sent her alive to the grave
 ♪
 An ideal of fortitude
 The one who never bends
 Feeds its heart of solitude
 Is either way condemned
 Such are the radical deeds
 And their tragic outcomes
 Ethical beacons we need
 At the forefront
 A glimpse of the light that still shines
 Across time
 Honor this mortal corpse
 (A veil of dust on the dead one)
 Hades wants equal laws
 (Two of us whom Death has won)
 Summon the inner voice
 (The city of stone and order)
 Love is the daimon's choice
 (Undergoes a tremor)
 We don't know that we're blind
 Nor the harm that we inflict
 Without great figures by our side
 To guide us on this journey
