Nostoi - Under The Light Of The Olive Tree Songtexte

Once upon a time there was a woman
And there was also a man,
And many other men and women
A peaceful city in need of a powerful deity to rule
A couple that fights for their right to love...

Two stories are told, one path is built
Peace he had found in her arms
Though fear of loss constantly rose
A gentle smile made the sea rumble

Two souls chained by the power of Gods
Athena and her spear
Poseidon and his sea
Avatar of Gods, fighting for Cecrops, the King

No power from the sea could stop such love
Poseidon’s Trident may not kill their will
As leaves fell from the olive tree
The fruit born was passion, not tragedy

Locked on a cage made by the power of men
Trapped in a bubble Poseidon has made
The woman had feared her fight would be vain
Such feeling, fragile but strong, her will won’t fade

What do I need? Comfort and care
What does he need? Trust and safety
He fought to free me from despair
I wait while he fights the ocean and it’s beasts

Two souls chained by the power of Gods
Athena and her spear
Poseidon and his sea
Avatar of the gods fighting for Cecrops

The city has chosen the power of justice
Love has defeated the sea
A man and woman had lived happily
Under the lights of the olive tree
