Lyrics
[very long intro]
[Verse 1]
[hummed]
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la la la
[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
Run, Pheidippides, run through the night
Between black peaks and the dawn’s first light
Heartbeat like thunder, breath like a flame
They’ll build a whole world on the sound of your name
[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
Run, Pheidippides, run through the night
Between black peaks and the dawn’s first light
Heartbeat like thunder, breath like a flame
They’ll build a whole world on the sound of your name
[Outro]
"Nenikekamen."
[Final hit]
[End]
