lyrics

Sweat blinded your eyes and blood clots covered your body
The insignia collapsed and all seemed to turn into a nightmare’s
You felt an arm stretching out and a face placed on you gesticulating unrelated words
You lost sight of as a mirage and you felt like running between illusory mists
And the time seemed to stop until you felt the whisper of the waves
And staring at familiar faces you believed feeling your spirit beating again
And listening to the murmur of the waves you knew that the gods no longer guided you
Following sirens songs to a vague future

Until at last you stared at the land of Egypt
You thought in your allies, in mobilizing new legions to end this war in a setback
And when you reached the coast sorrowful you made clear that a plain procession was waiting
And in that moment you remembered Sophocles: “whoever is routed to a Tyrant, is his slave, although he has arrived free” you whispered
When you got off you recognized friendly faces and you examined a veteran
And when you shook his hand a sting broke your flesh
Some people say or remember seeing Caesar’s tears when he saw afterwards your motionless face on a tray
