Argonauts, Pt. 1 Lyrics


Hear now the legend of Jason

The heir of Iolcos

And his brave crew of heroes

Aboard the ship Argo

Aeson his father was the rightful king

But his uncle Pelias stole the throne from him

As a boy was sent to Cheiron the wise centaur sage

In the forests of Mount Pelion

Until he came of age

At the age of twenty Jason finally returned

To his beloved homeland to claim his kingdom

Seeing that he was one-sandaled

Pelias recalled an oracle some years before

Then the usurper cunningly

Decided to send him away

On an impossible expedition

To bring the Golden Fleece

On their quest they sail aboard the Argo

Demigods and heroes to Colchis they must go

On their quest they sail aboard the Argo

Demigods and heroes to Colchis they must go

There is a tree at the end of the world

With a fleece of gold hanging on its branches

They say it's a gift from the gods

It has the power to bring prosperity and peace

The goddess Athena grand him her favour

The great craftsman Argos built him a ship

Strong like the earth and fast as the wind

And with the power of speech

For its voyage across the seas

Argo was ready to begin

On their quest they sail aboard the Argo

Demigods and heroes to Colchis they must go

On their quest they sail aboard the Argo

Demigods and heroes to Colchis they must go

On their quest they sail aboard the Argo

Demigods and heroes to Colchis they must go

On their quest they sail aboard the Argo

Demigods and heroes to Colchis they must go

On their quest they sail aboard the Argo

Demigods and heroes to Colchis they must go

On their quest they sail across the Aegean Sea

In the land of Colchis lies their destiny
