Hapless pawns of the heavens sent
Seek in my destruction a monument,
A semblance of glory to fall their way,
Yet my heart's gambit has its say
And they have discovered to their cost,
That this is my triumph and they have lost.
Oh gods, laugh your fill,
Toy with me, exert your will,
You will never subdue me
For in her heart I'm always free,
No matter what you have in store
I live in another, always pure-
Thalatta, Thalatta, the sea in sight,
My soul's heavy load made now light.
The victim's part too well learnt
For me to take on the villain's role,
I deny you, fates, three times and more,
Scream at you 'til my throat is sore,
Your minions left to their fruitless toil
As from false idols now I've turned.
Oh gods, laugh your fill,
Toy with me, exert your will,
You will never subdue me
For in her heart I'm always free,
No matter what you have in store
I live in another, always pure-
Thalatta, Thalatta, the sea in sight,
My soul's heavy load made now light.
