Antigone

Behold crossing through the city gates Beyond walls too narrow for her fate Comes Antigone, as told by These old rhymes A brother that they chose to disregard And nothing more than an offended heart She doesn't fear to defy Decrees nor crimes No mourning for this deceased Soon the prey of ravenous beasts Excruciating sight of flesh Mundane frailty is all that is left An echo of these noble lines One more time Honor this mortal corpse A veil of dust on the dead one Hades wants equal laws Two of us whom Death has won Summon the inner voice The city of stone and order Love is the daimon's choice Undergoes a tremor Defiance worthy of praise Sent her alive to the grave An ideal of fortitude The one who never bends Feeds its heart of solitude Is either way condemned Such are the radical deeds And their tragic outcomes Ethical beacons we need At the forefront A glimpse of the light that still shines Across time Honor this mortal corpse A veil of dust on the dead one Hades wants equal laws Two of us whom Death has won Summon the inner voice The city of stone and order Love is the daimon's choice Undergoes a tremor We don't know that we're blind Nor the harm that we inflict Without great figures by our side To guide us on this journey
