I would like to be free
Free as the ocean
As the waves raging on the shores
Of a land still untouched by men
And an island, protected by her walls of waves be my fortress
I so long for freedom
In nostalgia of my foremothers times
I dream of Artemis
And would like to be a huntress maiden
Lady of the Beasts
Living by no other laws than the ones of nature and sisterhood
My soul has enough of oppression
My soul has enough of domination
My soul longs for independence, honor and sisterhood
I don’t belong to the outside world
Can they understand?
My soul is suffering, remembering my foremothers lands
That no more belong to us
What is Amazonia
If we live under another government
If we can’t become a Nation
I dream of discovering a new land
New Themiskyra in a world of darkness
Lysippe, zarima sin, give me a sign
Guide me to my fate
I don’t belong to the outside world
I don’t belong to darkness
I don’t belong to a world where my people can’t be free
To a world ruled by patriarchy, oppression and fundamentalism
Lysippe, what must I do?
Since the Eagle defeated the Wolf
The world is fallen into darkness
Nothing is the same
Nothing will be the same
Please help us, please help me!
Before the world falls under the New Rome it became
Before hope fades away
Lysippe, where is Themiskyra!?
Justice and honor no more rule the world
The world entered into a war for power
Dear Mother is it too late?
I’m seeking for the hope that Themiskyra will live again
And be that beacon in darkness that our world is seeking
I came with my Nation to defend the City of Troy,
It was my duty...my duty as a Queen!
But despite of my loyalty to my Nation and to the Virgin Goddess,
I wanted to discover the power of love!
How it is to fall in love for a man...
And at hoped that my exploits at Troy would free me of my military service...
Of my pact of Virginity...
At Troy, I met my destiny,
The exalted Greek hero Achilles...
Hector's murderer!
I loved him since the first regard but my duty was to avenge Hector's death!
I discovered love with my worst enemy...
Enemy of our Trojan allies and of my Aryan Nation...
My heart said me to love him but my duty was to kill
him!
And I fought him in dual...
That duality made me suffer,
Until Achilles ended my torment by plunging his
sword through my heart...
My bleeding heart, lacerated by a cruel duality!
When he saw my face, he fell in love with me,
But it was too late, the Parques had cut the thread
of my life.
Love is death...
And death is love!
No death is so sweet...
And so cruel at the same time!
Love is a murderer!
Eros is a traitor!
But sweetness at the same time!
Passion that even warrior ardor can't equals!
And that discovery costed me my life...
Achilles...my love...my enemy...
My destiny...
I'll remember you forever!
In rays of light
She emerges in the twilight
Her silverbow illuminating
The vesperal coat surrounding me
From her dark throne
Her bow is drawn, ready to shoot
To defend her lands from the profanation of men
Wild Virgin, Maiden of the beasts
Indomitable protector of wildlife and women
Teacher of the Amazon lore
Moon Goddess, maiden mother and crone
Fierce huntress, as wild and fierce as her dear wilderness
Lover of women and animals
Her life will is to be the equal of men
For now on I knew her path was mine
And that my way is to follow
The ways of Artemis
Maiden of the Silver Bow
I’m the gate between worlds
Between consciousness and unconsciousness
Between the mortals and deities
I am your deepest secrets
Hidden into your souls
I can read your mind
I can read your soul
I can read your own destiny
I’m daughter of Tyche
You can call me
You can fear me
But you can’t stop the Fates
I can read what is secret
Engraved deep into your soul
Or in the underworld
I’m the door between the living and the deceased
Between past, present and future
Holding the secrets of our own mortality
And immortality
You can fear me
But only when you’ll be freed of your fear of your own mortality
You’ll taste to immortality
Fire of the Sky, fire of the Sun
May from your rays of life our herds and crops blossom
Bless our crops and lands with abundance
Bless all that grows, all that lives with abundant fertility
Around the Maypole we dance
Invoking your humble blessings to end hunger
To fill our baskets with bountiful crops
Maiden of Light, oh Holy Sun!
Lady of Fertility and Abundance
Bless our lands and all that lives
Heat our hearts and fill our bellies
Bless with your fertile rays fields and forests
All species sharing your lands
And for your graces, Blessed Be, All Mother
Guardians of the South
Of the Fire, source of Life
Arise, and join our circle
And with your rise, summer bloom
If ever hope fades in your heart
If you seek light in darkness
If men tries to make your spirit fade
Look at the sky, and look at Her
Fading away with the dawn’s blaze
Returning powerful in the twilight
Phoenix of the Night
Artemis, the Holy Moon
The Holy Feminine
Will guide you to light
The Amazon spirit will never die
And can’t be destroyed
By either darkness and fire
Daughters of Artemis
We can rise from darkness
Be a light in the twilight
Rise from our ashes
With hope in our hearts
Like a constellation of stars shining bright
Like the Silver Bow of the Huntress Moon chasing darkness
