Ulysses

Ulysses

Eight years slowly pass reborn your name

But Telemachus recalls

You were bold among the boars

Eight years till Calypso set you free

And Penelope awaits

Proud and faithfull against fate

Oh Zeus

Will you spread your mighty hands

Bring my journey to an end

Help me reach my native land

To my Ithaca so grand

Mighty Zeus

Oh, Mighty Zeus

Carriage from the deep

The endless winds have torn the sails to shreds

Carriage from the deep

And all but one believed that you were dead

Look to slay this land and a flower to forget

Quickly tie their hands and the pompous you'll regret

Don't come near the cave

For this is where Polyphemus abides

You'll become a slave

And many of your friends will lose their lives

Speak O Hermes ghost May your winds show me the path

In a stall in Circes Isle you'll find your friends

Till the Goddess sees your heaven sent

There remain untill you'll find again self will

For your journey home to be fullfilled

And when I woke from my sleep

I long asked my heart wether to leap

From my swift going black painted ship

And in the sea be drowned

Or in silence endure

And among the living still abide

To the Hades and all the Oracles beseech

Of Achillies you will hear a speech

And the sirens voice will echo in your ears

Music that no sailor twice will hear

O prophet the threads of my life were spun by the Gods

One thing tell me But say the truth

The ghost of my mother so dear, I wish to see

Enthriced from my hands she flittered away

Ithaca

At last, O Athena

It is me Telemachus your father, Odysseus

My bow slay the Suphres

Penelope it is me, Odysseus

Peliapus it is me Odysseus

O Athena

Ithaca, Ithaca
