I suffered for my people,I
defended my Nation,
But I suffered desperately
the terror of love in
loneliness.
I'm Penthesilea,Queen of
the Amazons,
A great Nation is walking,
For a river of tears that
no Immortal have to dry.
I'm daughter of the Winds,
No battles are so fast,
No suffering so quick,
And merciless like the
heat of a furnace.
I'm a lost youth,
I'm the cold,the ice,the
heat,the pain,
Born as a princess,fallen
as a Queen.
Pain come with me and the
pain is so large!
More of a thousand under
my blows fell,
More of a hundred under
my order loved me.
I'm an Amazon,
The most beautiful of all,
And all are truly the most
beautiful!
I fled,thinking to find
a solution,
And I found no other than
to find as an heroin,
And to face Thanatos(death)who
overthrown me
disloyally.
I traveled through the
World,
From every song,a learning
I took,
And I executed my sacred
dance,
My secular song,
For the cosmic belt I traveled,
But the Gods allowed me
the exchange and I agreed!
I love life,but I'm daughter
of the death,
I'm a tormented soul,seeking
for harmony...
I killed myself a thousand,a
thousand I think!
All I want is what I know,
And I know that I want
everything!
I killed in the battle,virgins
and warriors,
I repent myself but everything
would make it new.
Therefore,what passed,passed,
And what I want is to fight
for my people!
I'm a Virgin,I'm a Warrior,
I'm a woman,feminine and
masculine...
The pleasure and the pain,
The pain gives me pleasure!
Pallas(Athena)condemned
me,
And I died in the arms
of my love,
Dark haired Achilles,
Son of the Sea's Nereid,
I afflict,as well as the
City of Troy,
Which with swelling eyes
saw me to emaciate.
I am the dirty remorse,of
which I pronounce so
painfully,
I'm an unsecured soul,petrified
by terror.
I'm the beauty and the
fierceness,more fierce than
beautiful!
I killed and murmured,murmured
and kept,
But I prayed for all the
souls that heard me...
An Amazon is here,with
an headquarter of pure blood,
Fighting for her crowded
place hardly.
Than,many souls from past
are to return,
And I'm one of them,and
I died to awake...
I'm here,
I'm Penthesilea,
Queen of the Amazons
