Tissaphernes, who would speak for the king,

Made offers of truce and the peace it would bring.

He promised to help us be safe and go home,

Or stay inside Persia and service the Throne.

Time to pray…we need Xenophon.

We can’t stay…stuck in Babylon.

Show the way…before hope is gone,

Xen-o-phon.

Now our leaders who accepted the truce,

Instead were the victims of verbal abuse.

All our generals were destined to fail,

And they were beheaded by Persian betrayal.

Time to pray…we need Xenophon.

We can’t stay…stuck in Babylon.

Show the way…before hope is gone,

Xen-o-phon.

Time to pray…we need Xenophon.

We can’t stay…stuck in Babylon.

Show the way…before hope is gone,

Xen-o-phon.

Receive the gods advice and make a sacrifice,

so Zeus can hear our cries, we need a guide.

We are so far from Greece, there is no Persian peace,

cannot afford to sleep, we need a plan.

We all have families, that we may never see,

No one can intercede, or hear our pleas.

We need you Xenophon, before the swords are drawn,

to get where we began, so thereupon

you are the man, with you we will succeed.

We thank the gods for Xenophon

We thank the gods for Xenophon

We thank the gods for Xenophon

We thank the gods so we can go on.
