Under The Light Of The Olive Tree
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once upon a time there was a woman
And there was also a man,
And many other men and women
A peaceful city in need of a powerful deity to rule
A couple that fights for their right to love...
Two stories are told, one path is built
Peace he had found in her arms
Though fear of loss constantly rose
A gentle smile made the sea rumble
Two souls chained by the power of Gods
Athena and her spear
Poseidon and his sea
Avatar of Gods, fighting for Cecrops, the King
No power from the sea could stop such love
Poseidon’s Trident may not kill their will
As leaves fell from the olive tree
The fruit born was passion, not tragedy
Locked on a cage made by the power of men
Trapped in a bubble Poseidon has made
The woman had feared her fight would be vain
Such feeling, fragile but strong, her will won’t fade
What do I need? Comfort and care
What does he need? Trust and safety
He fought to free me from despair
I wait while he fights the ocean and it’s beasts
Two souls chained by the power of Gods
Athena and her spear
Poseidon and his sea
Avatar of the gods fighting for Cecrops
The city has chosen the power of justice
Love has defeated the sea
A man and woman had lived happily
Under the lights of the olive tree
