A New Athens Songtext

von Bluetones

We charted a course
And took ourselves north
Through Caledonian fields
And back to the source
A gathering force
Packed up inside the guts
Of an iron horse

And they said a new Athens we would build
And they said a new Athens we would build
All that we lacked until now were the tools
All that we lacked until now was the will

We met with our host
Raised our glass in a toast
Though we were not quite home
We knew we were close
And we heeded his word
Each man interpreting differently
Just what he heard

And they said a new Athens we would build
And they said a new Athens we would build
All that we lacked until now were the tools
All that we lacked until now was the will

And they said a new Athens we would build
And they said a new Athens we would build
All that we lacked until now were the tools
All that we lacked until now was the will
Was the will
