Lyrics
Use Enharmonic synemmenon dromos hitzaz with Çıkıcı-İnici seyir for all harmonic elements. Microtonal bends on aqaz and shahed. Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.
Female voice D: Hera – surgically precise, dignified coloratura alto with bright squillo (inspired by Nana Mouskouri); steady tessitura, crystalline clarity, moderate ambitus focused on lower register, narrow vibrato width, microtonal accuracy with crystal-clear phonemic clarity prioritized over warmth.

Pre-Verse, solem, drum rolls
Ακουσατε Ηρης,
Της άχρηστης ταμιου του Ολυμπου.
Η ωρα εφθασε επιτελους.
Ο λογος υβρισθη,
Ο λογος πρεπει να νικησει.
Ο δραστης θα κριθη.
Verse 1
The stones have wept enough,
The cries of the wronged ones
Have filled all ears in the world,
Ascending to Olympus high.
There is no more time to waste.
All preparations are done.
Chorus
Ειρηκε Ηρη,
Η αχρηστη ταμιος του Ολυμπου.
Ηρη πιστευει εις τον λογον.
Ηρη πιστευει εις την κρισιν των ηρωων.
Ειρηκε την δικην.
Vorspiel - 2 bars
Verse 2
Perseus,
Wronged son of Zeus,
Beloved son of Danaë,
Beloved son of Polydectes,
Along with companions,
Ye have stacked Pelion and Ossa
And now it is time
To march onto Olympus.
While ye were away,
Hera spread word
And assembled a court
Ye shall preside over.
Chorus
Ειρηκε Ηρη,
Η αχρηστη ταμιος του Ολυμπου.
Ηρη πιστευει εις τον λογον.
Ηρη πιστευει εις την κρισιν των ηρωων.
Ειρηκε την δικην.
Vorspiel - 2 bars
Verse 3
As we speak here,
Zeus is already trapped.
The feast he made for his brothers
Might be his last.
The water of the Styx
Already effecting him,
Without him even knowing.
Olympus cannot bear
A ruler such as Zeus.
He shall either swear
Or be forced to abdicate.
Chorus
Ειρηκε Ηρη,
Η αχρηστη ταμιος του Ολυμπου.
Ηρη πιστευει εις τον λογον.
Ηρη πιστευει εις την κρισιν των ηρωων.
Ειρηκε την δικην.

Verse 4
Heroes, ye have proven
Ye are capable of this.
Hera now takes leave
And awaits the heroes arrival
Upon Olympus's heights.
Son of Danaë,
Son of Polydectes.
Thou art the only one
Able to redress wrongs
And reinstate what's right.
Do not forget Hera's words:
All wounds have an expiry date
And not all find their origin
Where one believes.
start fade out, slow down
Outro
Ειρηκε Ηρη,

Ηρη πιστευει εις την κρισιν των ηρωων.
Ειρηκε την δικην.
