lyrics

The waves were carrying terror
Landing in Athenian lands
They were squashed by the big Pandion
Helped by the thracian Tereus
In his veins was running
The blood of God Ares

Sealed the Alliance
With the hand of the daughter
Of big Pandion, Procne
Under pernicious auguries
An owl extends his wings
In sign of the tragedy

The sun crosses five autumns
The docile swell transport a craft
The young Philomela

Madness and lust
Tereus rapes Philomela
And the iron seals the moment
The root of the tongue flutters
And the top murmurs convulsed
On the black floor
Catching an eternal silence

But Gods are not quiet they don’t even hesitate
Procne found her sister
One trembles
The other embraces her son
Confusing this way
Her anxieties of revenge

But she understands the terrible blood
That she embraces in her arms
And the revenge turns
Clearer than never

Start the banquet
Tereus fills his stomach
Looking around asks
Where’s our son?
Procne smiles and answers
What are you looking for, you have it inside
And throws to the father the bloody head

This way ended the reign of Tereus
Unfortunate tomb of his son
