Lyrics
[very long intro]
[classical aria]
[Verse 1]
Dust on his sandals, fire in his veins
Two hundred miles through the mountain rains
From the gates of Athens to the Spartan walls
He ran for the city, he gave it his all!
Pan in the shadows, a voice in the wind
The struggle of nations is about to begin
Sparta said wait, but the tide wouldn't stay
So he turned to the coast, to the salt and the spray
[Chorus]
Run, Pheidippides, run through the night
Between the dark mountains and the morning light!
Heartbeat like thunder, breath like a flame
They’ll build a whole world on the sound of your name
Forty kilometers left to the gate
One final message to carry the weight:
"Nenikekamen! We won the day!"
Then the soul of the runner just drifted away
[Verse 2]
The armor was heavy, the sun was a blade
But he wouldn't falter, he wasn't afraid
Past the olive groves, past the ancient stones
He ran for the people, he ran all alone!
The lungs are burning, the legs are like lead
The spirits of heroes are calling his name
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Run, Pheidippides, run through the night
Between the dark mountains and the morning light!
Heartbeat like thunder, breath like a flame
They’ll build a whole world on the sound of your name!
Forty kilometers left to the gate
One final message to carry the weight:
"Nenikekamen! We won the day!"
Then the soul of the runner just drifted away!
[Outro]
"Nenikekamen."
[Final hit]
[End]
