I come from the dark Abyss, the Uterus! And I conclude in dark Abyss, the Tomb! I am the lord of the earth, it is of mine Flesh and blood of mine by the name of my parents A wild voice calls my race and me The dead are laid on the soil They have become birds, trees and air I sit in shadows feeding from their flesh They become ideas, pa**ion and destiny becomes my will I am afraid I humiliate my ancestors I am brave my rage rises! My pa**ion, my beliefs are older than my heart My body is the men, the women and the children of my race
I sing hanged from the Abyss The magic proud incantation Pisteyo se ena theo akrita Digeni Strateymeno, pasxonta, megalodynamo Oxi pantodynamo, polemisth sta akrotata synora Stratigo, aytokratora se oles tis foteines dynameis Tis orates kai tis aorates [English translation:] I believe in a god sentinel Digeni* Struggling, suffering, generous Not almighty emperor over all the light powers Visible and invisible [* hero in many medieval greek folk songs]
