The Argonauts Like gods from the sea Now climb ashore Heroes all, armed with steel! Spears agleam And helmets sparkle The standard of Hellas Billows in enemy lands! With sword and shield Hellenic steel To conquer the world And bring kings to heel Under the sun and over the sea Argo glides on ocean leagues By the moon and by Zeus Adventure calls the Argonauts! With sword and shield Ten thousand leagues O’er waves of Neptune The setting sun is caught In our flashing swords! Would that I had Only one yard Of Hellenic steel Than all the golden crowns Of the wild Easterlings Poseidon's waves we all must brave To distant shores as we set sail With song attuned to pulling oars And wine that steels Hellenic hearts! All for one, Argo for all – What horror creeps on yonder shore? The heroes' ranks are closed at once As steel is drown to face what comes With sword and shield Hellenic steel To conquer the world And bring kings to heel The steel that's forge in fire-hearts In battle rings a keen death-toll Now, from Iolcos we bring you this Hellenic steel to claim the fleece! With sword and shield Hellenic steel To conquer the world And bring kings to heel
