[intro]
|
You'd never ever hear of Olathoe in the land of Lomar again, its story was buried 26000 years
|
ago where Polaris shines high in the sky. But if you find a silver key in a black wooden box,
|
you still may roam there in your dreams and hear what once was huge walls, laughing beneath the
|
ice and telling you the whole tale.
|
|
[part 1 - war]
|
Standing,
|
We wait with no fear, all is prepared
|
We shall defend this town, no one is...
|
Scared by the enemy even tho' we're few
|
You're drawing near and we have iron for you
|
Our mate on the look-out is scanning the field
|
Polaris' watching and we stand, ha ha!
|
|
Suddenly,
|
A cry breaks the night, some soldiers are hit
|
The Inuto are here, no time left
|
Watch out behind us we're caught by surprise
|
The look-out man fell under Polaris' light
|
By the time I see one, two of us has died
|
Their swords are more, but we still have our pride
|
|
Oh, Olathoe, oh...
|
|
Marble walls are painted red, oh don't give our home free
|
See our wives and children cry, don't dive into defeat
|
Conquered,
|
We'll die now in war, but we still ain't lost
|
I speak to you my walls, I pray you
|
We were the founders of this town I live
|
We built you and the marble palaces for peace
|
Defended you in war through aeons with pride
|
So punish the stranger, take vengeance while we die
|
|
Oh, Olathoe, oh...
|
|
Marble walls...
|
|
[part 2 - defeat]
|
|
No mercy was shown to them at all
|
You'd never hear mentioned Lomar again
|
Inuto were then mocking with pride
|
A wonderful land wich now belonged to them
|
|
Marble walls, you'd say they never fall
|
Palaces and streets, you'd say you were in heaven
|
|
Unable just to see their luck
|
Ignoring there was a spell on them
|
Laughing at all things they saw
|
They were observed by the high walls
|
Marble walls, you'd say they never fall
|
Temples and gardens, you'd say you were in heaven
|
|
[part 3 - vengeance]
|
The armies of the Inuto stood to celebrate all night long
|
A war was won, an easy bit, they found they were really strong
|
Under the walls, they drank and ate, and laughed and laughed
|
The enemies killed still lay on the field, they danced on their bodies
|
|
None will hear through history of the vengeance of the high walls
|
Glory and gratitude are kept under ice and this tomb will never fall
|
None will hear through history of the strenght of the marble walls
|
Their sacrifice is kept under ice and this tomb will never fall
|
|
The walls did observe, the walls did see, the walls did hate the enemy
|
A curse was cast, there was one thing to do, so the walls did mock the strangers
|
Loudly bursting, they fell on the Inuto, they crushed 'em with debris
|
Covering with pity this painful sight, vengeance was finally done.
|
|
None will hear...
|
|
Oh, Olathoe, oh...
