Lyrics
It’s about that time, gotta stake your claim
Emphasizing the importance of asserting oneself in a specific situation.
And do what you’ve gotta do, get right into their face
Confronting challenges directly, facing them head-on.
But the game is changing, who could ever know
Highlighting the uncertainty surrounding ongoing changes.
What is going on right now? Where’d the cowards go?
Questioning the disappearance or absence of those who seem cowardly in the current scenario.
Wars of ages, turn the pages
Referencing prolonged conflicts throughout history and their impact.
Run away, admit defeat
Suggesting the option of acknowledging defeat and fleeing from a situation.
The fire and winds won’t bring down Salamis
Symbolizing resilience against destructive forces, specifically mentioning Salamis.
A thousand ships can’t save you
Implying that sheer numbers or strength might not guarantee success or salvation.
Your forces rise to bring down Salamis
Discussing the attempt to overcome Salamis with organized forces.
But no one’s going to hear those feeble cries
Suggesting futility in attempting to gain attention or sympathy through weak efforts.
Put your best man in, let him show him the way
Encouraging the deployment of the most capable individual to lead the way.
You can’t stop now, there’s too much at stake
Stressing the critical nature of continuing the effort due to high stakes.
Now the tides are changing, on the dark blue sea
Describing a shift in the situation, particularly at sea.
Take your men and regroup now, find your destiny
Advising a strategic withdrawal and reorganization to determine fate.
Wars of ages, turn the pages
Reiterating the cyclical nature of conflicts throughout history.
Run away, admit defeat
Reemphasizing the option to retreat and accept defeat.
The fire and winds won’t bring down Salamis
Reaffirming the resistance against destructive forces targeting Salamis.
A thousand ships can’t save you
Reiterating the idea that sheer force may not guarantee success in protecting Salamis.
Your forces rise to bring down Salamis
Describing organized efforts to conquer Salamis.
But no one’s going to hear those feeble cries
Highlighting the likelihood of futile attempts to gain attention through weak pleas.
