SONS OF HERACLES


More than 3000 years ago
In times of ancient Greece
The sea patrolled with rowing boats
And sentries posted for enemies
They built a wall across the Isthmus
To stop an enemy onslaught
The return of the sons of Heracles
A force that could not be stopped

The sons of Heracles they came
With Iron spears
Land to claim

Those Dorians left their mountain home
Pushed on down to Crete
With their bravery and their weapons
Overthrew the Achaean Kings
The second coming that's what they said
Slashing their way to a new future
Where civil war reigned

The sons of Heracles they came
With Iron spears
Land to claim

The people thus divided
Entered a changing phase
But a culure lost for generations
Would soon arise again
And from the Horsemen of Dorus
Came the Spartans
And the Macedonians strong and brave
