A maiden by the seaside was taken from her land On a bull across the waves until she reached a foreign strand Her father, a great king, less human than divine True godhood she would find - Twelve stars in azure skies Stronghold walls of Uruk, Etemanaki's fane Mighty rock of Zion your legacy remains Aeneas left his mother Troy, summer birds search for new lands The goddess sends her siren's call, across the continents On a strong white bull, the goddess rides In the darkest night twelve stars will rise Daughter of the east with an azure gown Our new Jerusalem we found And I saw brothers fighting, not for honour but for gold Enthralled by foreign agents like cattle we are sold

He's the father of all men But brothers once united will stand as one again My touch was felt in Dublin, my voice was heard in Spain Ten thousand years may pa** by, but this fortress shall remain" There are shadows over Athens and Rome still lies in flames In these days when need is great, there's no heroes there's no saints But when the night is darkest, Prometheus' torch will burn And the goddess on a white bull - though she never left - returns
