Elissa Lyrics

You, cruel sisters
that from ruin
pleasure borrow!
I bleed tonight,
Chartago flames tomorrow!

I ran from Tyro.
my gold was fake.
A city was built
against fate,
made out of whores and arrows.

Sweet banks of Africa,
you, brown and blue,
watching every move I do.
A queen is a woman, down below,
well they seem to know
Don't make mistakes...

He came from East
dirty and wild.
I was alive
when he smiled
and his eyes were kind and tired.

I gave him all I had,
I gave all myself.
Not a single word he said.
Naked in his arms, I prayed: "Stay..."
I looked around,
everything was broken.

But why I trusted
this men from the sea,
stays a mystery
to me...

If you go, don't turn back,
if you do you're weak.
It's known to men's 'n' mice,
weakness always pays a price.
I failed, I'll pay,
while you sail away.

The fire burns high,
your blade is harp.
I feel it inside,
hurts my hands.
while I die, I understand.

I die for pride,
I die of rage.
At your feet I laid,
locked myself into your cage,
but be afraid,
...my revenge is just delayed!
