Seas of anguish make our pride

Endless days and endless nights

Nine days against the wind

A strange land appears again

Come (and) rest our precious friends
Come and taste our unique seed
Sweet and magic a gift of Gods
Can force your soul can free your mind

Chorus
Forget and dream no more
Into oblivion fall
Your land you'll never see
Don't taste (the) forbidden seed

Those who dared to taste it
Are tied now upon the sails
Forbidden fruit the nightmare ends
The leave behind the lotus land

Into oblivion fall
Your land you'll never see
Don't taste (the) forbidden seed

Like a statue standing so proud

Mountain man alone in darkness
As He drinks the divine wine
Angry He is by the strangers
Disgrace them made them fear

Chorus
Poseidon Son proud and evil
One by one the companions die
Poseidon Son proud and evil
One by one the companions die

But this hellish heart can not escape
Their rage is bigger than the fear
The plan is ready to execute
The stick is burning into His eye

Polyphemus the Beast with the fierce soul
Blindness is the punishment forever
Blindness is the punishment forever

His turn comes for revenge
As the witch asks for his love

Journey To The Other Side [Back To Top]
(Music: Stathis Pavlandis, Lyrics: Stathis Pavlandis, Chris Kappas)

In the shadows he creeps
To the land where no life dwells
Travelers in the western seas
To the other side of the mirror

For the great prophecy he seeks
Of the blind prophet Teresias
Who lives among the dead ones
To the other side of the mirror

Chorus
To deepest seas we've traveled
To strongest winds we've conquered
To strange lands we're heading
Journey to the other side
The underworld is waiting
United we shall make it
Our power is divine
Journey to the other side

The prophet's soul is coming
The most proud of all (the) dead
(The) Master of all prophets
To the other side of the mirror

As he drinks the black blood
The great prophecy he speaks
For the return to kings land
To the other side of the mirror

To all heroes and friends
For a last time he talks
And to his dead mother's soul
To the other side of the mirror

The keeper he escapes
Persephone didn't release her
He is the one who returns
From the other side of the mirror

Surrounds the red dressed sea

From the deadly Bitch
No one knows
The legend of Charibdis

Chorus
Secrets, secrets of seven seas
Creatures that never before you've seen
Ulysses you have to find the quiz
You must decide...the Bitch or the Charibdis

And the sea disappears from our eyes
The challenge begins
Athena please help me this time
My sword and spear
Are thirsty for blood tonight
But the Bitch is too strong
She brings death from above

Chorus

Creatures that never before you've seen
Ulysses you have to find the quiz
You must decide...the Bitch or the Charibdis

Days passed by the hunger grows
Despair and anguish breaks them all

Helpless thought the die is cast
(The) Vow is forgotten, fate is sealed
But Gods forced (the) king to deep sad sleep
Temptation is great anxiety (is) increased
(The) sacred animals are killed

Kalypso [Back To Top]
(Music: Stathis Pavlandis, Lyrics: Stathis Pavlandis)

Seven years in the fairy's island
Gazing the sea and the stars
Oblivion rivers and skies of sorrow
Makes him to dream of the past ?

The days became months and the months became years
And still his sadness unfolds
The fairy's love and compassion to him
Makes him to suffer more ?

Eternal life and youth he was promised
With tears he was begged just to stay
His every dream would become reality
But his decision remained

Bridge
Oh Oh Oh
His destiny was his home
Oh Oh Oh
The tears and the dreams could not stop

Chorus
Gods please hear my plea
Take away the sorrow and pain
Just to see my land for last time
Only once and then I may die

Zeus the Thunderer heard his plea
The Fates have decide for his life
Hermes leaves from the skies above
And reaches the Fairy's land

The message was clear the king had to leave
Her love could not make him stay
With tears in her eyes and sorrow in Her heart
In divine order She obey

Bridge
Oh Oh Oh
His destiny was his home
Oh Oh Oh
The tears and the dreams could not stop

Chorus
Gods please hear my plea
Take away the sorrow and pain
Just to see my land for last time
Only once and then I may die

Beware Of The Night [Back To Top]
(Music: Stathis Pavlandis, Lyrics: Stathis Pavlandis, Chris Kappas)

And when the dark night falls
I gaze up at the sky
I pray to the mighty
The mighty Gods of the Light
Athena, show mercy
Have mercy for my poor soul
And when the day comes alive
Send me back to Ithaca shores

The Goddess hears his plea
And with the first light of the sun
Like beggar makes his disguise
With rags She dresses him up
No one can tell who he is
Not even Evmeos, his loyal friend
And when the time will come
He plans on taking revenge

Chorus
Beware of the night
Beware of the stars
The curse is now broken
The King will be back
And 'till night falls
The claimants should (be) killed
The crowd shall hail the return of the King
Give me a sign?
Beware Of The Night

Who is this stranger
Who claims to be the King of the land
I can't believe that it happens
Like God He seems in my eyes
Oh hear me my Father
I was a child since you left our land
I thank all the Gods now
The time for revenge has now come

Μάγισσες - Burn The Witch [Back To Top]
(Music & Lyrics: Stathis Pavlandis - 1994)

"Στην άκρη του χρόνου, στο περιστύλιο του σύμπαντος ανάβει η φωτιά που σε τυλίγει. Εσμεράλδα, φωνή εσώτερη, βλέμμα γερακιού που κοιτά μακριά, εσύ είδες τις αλχημείες της Θεϊκής προσαρμογής στα ανθρώπινα. Κτήμα εωσφορικό στο σκοτεινό έρεβος που σε κυκλώνει. Ο χλευασμός του πλήθους γίνεται ιαχή θριάμβου ? Ρωμύλντα, Έστερ, Λίλιθ, Μπέρτα αδελφές του σκοταδιού, κεριά σε μανουάλι που η άγνοια ανάβει. Κακία στο μίσος, καλοσύνη στην άρνηση, Αδελφές σε χορό που αιώνια παραδέρνει στο χάος"

...and the story begins like this...

The cries raised into the skies
The curses are strong enough to kill
The smell of flesh in the air
BURN!

Her eyes are the key to Hell
One look and you're insane
Natures mistake, Lucifer's seed
THE WITCH!

Bridge
Her eyes are the key to Hell
One look and you're insane
Natures mistake, Lucifer's seed
Burn the witch, Burn the witch

Chorus
Her eyes are the key to Hell
This can't go on and she must die
Right or wrong it's not a lie
Burn the witch, Burn the witch

The cries the curses the evil spells
The fear of priests was enough
To make sure that she would die
BURN!

Her eyes are the key to Hell
One look and you're insane
Natures mistake, Lucifer's seed
THE WITCH!

Bridge
Her eyes are the key to Hell
One look and you're insane
Natures mistake, Lucifer's seed
Burn the witch, Burn the witch

Chorus
Her eyes are the key to Hell
This can't go on and she must die
Right or wrong it's not a lie
Burn the witch, Burn the witch

Reflection [Back To Top]
(Music and Lyrics: Stathis Pavlandis - 1992)

Chorus
Coming and losing, torturing confusing
Reflection of my life, that's the answer if you ask me why
Reflection of my life, that's the answer if you ask me why
Oh, Oh, Oh

There it is I have to go
There is nothing left to show
Was it really all my fault?
I'm the one who chose this route

Chorus
Coming and losing, torturing confusing
Reflection of my life, that's the answer if you ask me why
Reflection of my life, that's the answer if you ask me why
Oh, Oh, Oh

Now the sky is getting clear
Hear me Father I have no fear
Life is nice and you are too
But no one will cry when I fly away

Chorus
Coming and losing, torturing confusing
Reflection of my life, that's the answer if you ask me why
Reflection of my life, that's the answer if you ask me why
Oh, Oh, Oh

Reflection...

The Wings Of Fate [Back To Top]
(Music & Lyrics: Stathis Pavlandis - 1992)
(Dedicated to George "The Omen" Theodorelos, for his loyalty, love and unlimited support all these hard years. This one is for you.)

We must end this madness
Children's eyes are full if sadness
Somebody said "it just a matter of time"
I believe that's our bigger crime

Chasing shadows through your life
Make you realize that we are still blind

Bridge
I know it might be not too late for us
To escape the wings of fate

Chorus
The Wings of Fate
The Wings of Fate

Everybody has got a price
Respect and honor are hard to find
Come on and think on yourself
Can you see the world is coming to the end

Bridge
I know it might be not too late for us
To escape the wings of fate

Chorus
The Wings of Fate

The Wheel Of Fortune [Back To Top]
(Music and lyrics: Stathis Pavlandis - 1995)

"Τα χυμένά μάτια του Οιδίποδα, η απελπισία της Κασσάνδρας και το πελέκι της Κλυταιμνήστρας στο κομμένο κεφάλι του Αγαμέμνονα. Οι λαοί σε απόγνωση, οι πεινώντες και διψασμένοι λαοί. Οι νεκροί των εκυχυριών στα μέτωπα της αδηφαγίας των λίγων. Η άγνοιά μας για το αύριο. Ο ήλιος που αρνείται να βγει, τα άστρα που σε παγώνουν τον Αύγουστο. Η Λάχεσις που σε πετά στο άπειρο, η Κλωθώ που σε τυφλώνει στην πορεία και η Άτροπος με το σπαθί και την φωτιά του τέλους. Οι Μοίρες που σε αγνοούν, οι Μοίρες που σε σκοτώνουν, τα μάγια του Απόλλωνα, το ατέλειωτο μαρτύριο του Προμηθέα του Τιτάνα."

Turn the Wheel of Fortune
See the future inside
Hear the Fates whispering
For the fate of your life

Turn the Wheel of Fortune
See the magic inside
See the eyes burning
Alive or dead soon you'll find

Chorus
The Wheel, the Wheel of Fortune
See the future inside
The Wheel, the Wheel of Fortune
The Fates have decided...
FOR YOUR LIFE!

Turn the Wheel of Fortune

Chorus
The Wheel, the Wheel of Fortune
See the future inside
The Wheel, the Wheel of Fortune
The Fates have decided...

Running into the centuries looking for your kingdom come
Nothing's more is now yours nothing to afraid

Chorus

Running into the centuries looking for a new life
Nothing's more is now yours nothing to afraid
Fighting barbarians and that is all you know

One step
One step Before the End

Eternal punishment but it is too late

Scattering of winds, BUT YOU STAND THERE
Waiting for Your death, DARKNESS HAS PREVAILED
Only for a while, CHRIST HAS RETURNED
Gave back the flame of life

Eternal punishment but it is too late
