Текст песни
They gathered on Delos Island
A league of equals by the sea
Each city swore a common promise
Stand as one, yet still be free
But tribute ships grew heavier
Athens held the counting keys
What began as shared protection
Tilted slowly into greed
History repeats in echoes
Marching in familiar lines
But if we name the pattern early
We can redraw the warning signs
What turned a league into an empire
Doesn't have to rise again
We can learn from ancient stories
And choose how this one ends
The first to try to leave
One city tried to walk away
To claim the freedom once agreed
But tyrants came with iron thunder
A voluntary bond decreed
The Delian League became an empire
Not by vote, but by the sword
A lesson carved in broken marble
Power rarely keeps its word
And every age feels moments
Where alliances feel thin
When trust becomes conditional
The cracks grow from within
History repeats in echoes
Wearing different shields and names
But if we hear the warning early
We don't have to play the same old games
What was taken once by power
Doesn't have to rule today
We can choose a different ending
We can turn the tide away
When leaders speak of allies
As favors they can grant or break
The past walks in without a warning
A shadow we cannot mistake
But knowing how the story faltered
Gives us strength to shift its course
We can guard the bonds of friendship
From the slow creep into force
History repeats in echoes
But echoes fade when voices rise
If we stand as true companions
We can break the old reprise
What began as hope and promise
Can be rebuilt once again
We can learn from ancient stories
And choose how this one ends
Echoes only rule the future
If we let them take the stage
But together we can quiet them
And turn the final page
And turn the final page
