solon - xiphos lyrics

sailing towards distant shores, on a mercantile career
leading a life of luxury, yet always keeping it balanced
rules of law, written down, thus shaping the years to come
the archon of all athenians, with no wish to become a tyrant
the archon of all athenians, with no wish to become a tyrant

called upon by wise men, declared wisest of them all
and yet i never cease to learn as i grow old

saying goodbye to draconian times, towards a brighter day
bringing honour and praise to apollo down at the temples of delphi

called upon by wisе men, declared wisеst of them all
and yet i never cease to learn as i grow old
and under the attican skies, down by the deep blue sea
i witnessed the birth of a future * for you and for me
and under the attican skies, down by the aegean sea
i witnessed the birth of a future * for you and for me

to the mass of the people i gave the power they needed
neither degrading them, nor giving them too much rein
for those who already possessed great power and wealth
i saw to it that their interests were not harmed
i stood guard with a broad shield before both parties
and prevented either from triumphing unjustly
called upon by wise men, declared wisest of them all
and yet i never cease to learn as i grow old
and under the attican skies, down by the deep blue sea
i witnessed the birth of a future * for you and for me
and under the attican skies, down by the aegean sea
i witnessed the birth of a future * for you and for me

rules of law, written down, thus shaping the years to come
rules of law, written down, thus shaping the years to come
