from ARIA 1995 "Night Lasts Less Than Day"
I grew up aloof in the ancestors'
land
and ignored their ancient creed.
I paid no respect to the demons
or saints,
forcing my own way up the wind.
But I've never been a slave of
delusions.
They worship the God and they worship
the Fiend,
too unfit to survive on their own.
And everyone sticks to the prison
he's built,
keeping faith to each word of the
story.
But I've never been a slave of
delusions.
But I've never been a slave of
delusions!
Next to my highland,
in the blue sky,
three white eagles
are soaring around me.
Their names are
Calmness, Spirit and Pride,
with nor evil
or good being above them.
Stand on the
highland under the sky,
where three eagles
are soaring around me.
Their names are
Calmness, Spirit and Pride,
and they herald
the dawn, just the eloquent dawn:
Neither good nor
wrong!
I was execrated and pelted with
stones,
was cursed and was laughed in the
face.
My friends would reward me with
crown of thorns
and foretell me to get into mess.
But I've never been a slave of
delusions.
And even the death hour won't change
me,
there's noone to cross me away.
I will stand alone and three times
free
from the cold and vacuous heaven.
I'll never be a slave of delusions.
I'll never be a slave of delusions!
Next to my highland,
in the blue sky,
three white eagles
are soaring around me.

where three eagles
are soaring around me.
Their names are

and they herald
the dawn, just the eloquent dawn:
