Antigone

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
