BLAZE OF VICTORY (THE WATCHMAN╢S SONG) ( MUSIC & LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS )
THE WATCHMAN: Blessed Gods, Cold Stars, release me from my long suffering Anxious, Weary, my Mind wracked by Fears unnatural I Scan The Horizon Watching, hoping for Signs of the Signal Fire Great Gift of Prometheus, reward me with the news that Troy has Finally Fallen! It is She who commands me thus to remain upon this Palace roof Watching, waiting... that willful, calculating Woman, who plots And Schemes, like a King!!!
No sleep, no Dreams, only Fear descends upon my couch and Ravages My Heart Yes Sorrow and Fear for what╢s become of this House Once so Great, now lost and cold, Hungry Spirits stalk these Halls But still I╢ll keep my Faith and Pray for our release from all This suffering...
Look there... at last... Conquest! Great Blaze of Triumph, I Greet thee, I Honour thee most Welcome Visitor from the Depths Of the Night Rape the Sky like a Royal Sun, turn this Mournful Night into Shining Day!
Awake Queen of Agamemnon, rise from thy sleep Cry the Morning Song of Victory, for the Kingdom of Ilion has Fallen The God of Fire proclaims it so We╢ll reap this Harvest of Flame, give Thanks and Pay Tribute To the Deities that made us...
Oh let it be so, let our Fleet return in Honour Over Lord Poseidon╢s Sea, safe from Wind and Storm Let me stand before my King and Pledge him Sword and Life for his Glory
A Thorn grips my voice, no more from me now Yet if this House could speak what a Tale it could tell Of Savage Murder, Betrayal, Ravenous Feasting and a Daimon with an Unquenchable thirst for Blood and Torn Flesh!!! No, no more from me, let actions speak! AWAKE!!!
