Alexander

Lightning struck the temple of the goddess
and thee polar stars fell on the horizon line
the sage screamed "The time has come"
The signs were all in place, the time has come

"At this day a child has been born
who will reveal the faces of the gods once again
and spread the word of humanity to the lands
of Dionysus. Child of Achilles, Child of Bacchus
the cynic gods will place a crown of horns on your head
The Lotus eaters will remember their names and homes
The Cyclops will hide in their caves
The lions will roar at the sun again
And glory is the only price to fight for"

And the years fled and a father got murdered
by the hand of a backache priestess mother
the child who was suddenly a king
dressed in black swore to avenge the death
of his ancestors in the three invasions
and there by his spear he called the land
"conquered by the spear and glory
and by the gods the king of kings will kneel to me"

He solved the Gordian knot with a single cut
He connected an isle to the mainland
He built 32 cities in 10 years as a memory
He was recognized as son of the sun-god Amon Ra - Zeus
He was the first pharaoh after years of oppression

Not even a million soldiers,
or the heat of the gedrosian desert
or the whales of the indian ocean
or the elephants of India
could stop him.

He did only one mistake
He trusted his friends
and they gave him a cup of poison.

And the sage said,
"right before the next cataclysm
the child will be revealed to you, once again.
Not to conquer or kill, not to build cities but
to unite the peoples, to overthrow the oppressors
to wear the crown of humanity for 10 minutes
call upon equality, just like then when 5.000 Greeks
married 5.000 Persian brides no difference between us all
and then to break his crown in the name of equality."


All you have to do is wait
all you have to do is trust
all you have to do is fight
all you have to do is laugh.
