Ctimene's Lament

[Verse]
She watched the waves at the break of dawn
Her brother’s shadow was far and gone
With whispers of salt her tears did blend
Waiting for journeys that would never end
[Chorus]
Oh Ctimene you stood so still
Your patience stronger than the hill
The wind it carried your silent plea
When will the sails bring him to thee
[Verse 2]
The olives grew and the seasons turned
Through endless nights her heart still yearned
The stories spoke of his valiant fight
But the hearth stayed cold through every night
[Chorus]
Oh Ctimene you stood so still
Your patience stronger than the hill
The wind it carried your silent plea
When will the sails bring him to thee
[Bridge]
They sang of his trials the wine-stained songs
Of sirens and monsters and rights from wrongs
Yet no song sang how she prayed alone
Her world was silence her voice a stone
[Verse 3]
She wove her sorrow into the sky
The stars refused to say goodbye
Years like rivers flowed on and on
While Ithaca dreamed of its wandering son
