It was twilight in Thebes
The Oedipus' curse has been fulfilled
It's sons, the kings, killed each other by
The betrayer of Polynices
Blood flowed through the seven doors
Blood flowed and spattered the throne
Creon, new king of the Acropolis
Sent the traitor's corpse to the desert to rot
Eaten by wild beasts, his soul will be damned
For all eternity
Through love of sister is stronger than law
Antigone buried her brother's corpse
How did you dare to transgress?
I won't absolve your offense
You'll be walled alive in a cave to learn
the law of the polis
Follow me beyond the kingdom of pain
Vanished dreams for the lies of kings
I can hear the sound of the afterlife
The sound of shadows
The sound of shadows
I'd rather die alone
The boulder was rolling
Sunlight's fading away from my sight
Condemned to eternal banishment
I will end my life in a prison of rocks
For what? By which sin was I stained?
Zeus' laws I've always obeyed
How did you dare to transgress?
I won't absolve your offense
You'll be walled alive in a cave to learn
the law of the polis
Follow me beyond the kingdom of pain
Vanished dreams for the lies of kings
I can hear the sound of the afterlife
The sound of shadows
The sound of shadows
I'd rather die alone
Antigone choose death
Her faith stronger than her kings
No law of men must breach divine rights
How did you dare to transgress?
I won't absolve your offense
You'll be walled alive in a cave to learn
the law of the polis
Follow me beyond the kingdom of pain
Vanished dreams for the lies of kings
I can hear the sound of the afterlife
The sound of shadows
The sound of shadows
I'd rather die alone
I heard the sound of shadows
I heard it with my heart
I heard the sound of shadows
I heard it with my heart
I heard the sound of shadows
I heard the sound, I heard the sound
The sound of shadows!
