Argonautica Lyrics


At the break of dawn

under a clear blue sky

The heroes assemble

for the quest of their lives

The Argo sets sail

on a perilous sea

Not ever knowing

what the waves will bring

Through tides of fate

and tempest wild

Seeking the Fleece

Amazed and beguiled

Reaching the shores of Lemnos

filled with temptation

Testing the power of will

and determination

The Argonauts linger there

for many a day

Choosing the righteous path

before the it's too late

For the mission to succeed in time

They have to be prepared to flee and to fight

Navigating through the waves

and through the dead of night

Fighters, monsters, deadly foes

Would come to test their might

Passing through the clashing rocks

Would test their faith and wit

Through siren's song so sweet and sharp

So tirelessly they steered

The golden Fleece, its beacon bright,

Lay far in lands of dread,

The biting winds, the thunder's roar,

Amongst the restless dead.

The dragon’s gaze, unyielding, cold,

Did guard the sacred prize,

But Jason’s courage, bold and true,

Shine bright beneath the skies.

As the gods looked down

they unleash their wrath

a heavy treason bound

to curse the heroes as they trail away

The seas turned dark, the winds grew wild,

As bonds begin to break,

The waves hit hard against the tide

The earth itself would quake.

Through storm and strife, their hearts drew weary

doubts began to rise,

For heroes bear the weight of fame,

And truth behind the lies.

With the Fleece in their hands

the Argonauts have returned

to taste the glory and fortunes bliss

Yet triumph came with a cost

and the peace they have yearned for

was nowhere to be found

The ship, once proud grew old with time,

Its oarsmen scattered wide,

And Jason, broken, lost his spark

Beneath the Argo’s shattered mast,

The hero met his fate,

A somber end to tales of old

But legends live, beyond the grave,

In songs and whispers still,

For Jason and his Argonauts

Defied both gods and will.

keep rowing on

until the end of time

breaking the waves and fight
