You reached me from deep waters at the wrong time

  Your silky black hair covering the sunrise

  But I have no time for another soul to see

  Between your eyes I can see your own sin

  One like what Pithia heeded a warning for me

  And same for my leader, now left without a saving grace

  You rode on the waves after facing the great Phoenix, a battle that you did not lose

  Facing yet another god like the one I saw before me, Zeus

  And in your eyes I can see the same tears, my tears, ones we ourselves got to choose

  Destruction of the perfect antithesis like me

  After the act the price to pay and alone left to be

  My spear like my soul remains broken

  And my body like my people beaten

  Understanding me and saying that I tried to protect them and reap their worry

  But in my mind lay one thought, "Steal both his crown and his glory"

  My name now and forevermore in history shall remain soiled

  With nightmares and disasters it will attach itself as this war's only spoil

  Get behind me like the people you tried to save

  Otherwise your life too will be taken away

  Gorgo warned me of the incoming doom after my actions on that day

  And so I gave you the sword with your husband's blood, dried as the sands that the Romans stole away

  But the musician without a harp or instrument you heard as on her knees she prayed

  I cannot understand what you see in me

  Worthless only realized after bathing in the blood of the kind

  My envy took life of my king after it got done stealing my mind

  Persia appeared before us in the hundreds of thousands

  And we by only a few hundred stood in front of our grounds

  Until I couldn't keep my god-forsaken mouth shut, Athenians stealing our glory for the ages

  And this soldier's body like his comrades was forever cast to Hades

  Your tunes for some reason only cast a spell on me

  The language of my people you learned for it to reach

  A form upon which I can't decide what to base

  But fatigue my eyes closes as in this beach I gave you chase

  The one White Feather I held was warning me with a hollow voice

  For the Phoenix you fought never let me have a choice

  She saw in me what she saw in you

  That we destroy lives in search for the truth

  For what we did our spirits will forever remain alive

  An example to avoid amidst the sands of time

  Around you I pleasantly embrace the passing of time

  The more you stay with me your melodies ease my mind

  A witch, not a child of the gods, that the people left out to die

  Between the soldiers that you beat and showed me what you had in you

  A hope that like me also the Spartans you will leave shines through

  But my heart you'll take me with you anywhere you go

  Like me, young when you made your greatest mistake

  Bringing back time so that your music may too find me

  And to honor you I pledge body, blood and this spear

  Whether rivaling the gods themselves if you wish to fight

  Or jumping from the waves to the constant of times

  No matter how hard the resistance is

  Because you won me with words and not what the eye sees

  My king and his queen never made a mistake

  But if in a traitor like me you trust then my spear is yours to take

  My choices might one day dig me a grave in the ground

  But no matter the judges, solace lies in those who my true self they found

  If to live for eternity to count our mistakes for eternity is what of this it will be

  Then let it be so, as in the abyss those who like us see destruction we give chase

  And so like to those higher that we held our heads up, lead me to the next, monster, human or god
