Rock-musical Ifigenia in Tauris - Song of Ifigenia

Сцена Ифигения у алтаря

                Ifigenia
                Prologue

I was born for the Gods’ sake
For their ambitions and for their games

My father has decided
The Goddess will be done
So they all might be avenged
And their riches will be saved

Oh that day I was dreaming of life
When they took me as Achilles’ bride

Now all my life I bear
This hatred on the edge
Remember how I lived before
And for whose sake I died for


With ritual knife above me
I close my eyes
The Goddess sends me far away
This place they call it Tauris
Here I must serve her
And their odious Phoantes



The altar’s here
And here’s a victim
Is this a dream?
Is this our house there?

Orestes! Where are you now?
I see you now among the shadows!

Orestes! Where are you now?
When you must be next to your father…





                Song

Oh this pain it has no end (will never end)
Cause I’m here
In this hell.
Oh where else?

These walls, these rocks,
This endless sea,
They surround me
For eternity.

What do you see?
Is this a dream?
Is this a nightmare
Or maybe my home indeed?

Take me from here
Will you save me?
(Repeat)

Oh that doe, she took no place,
She took my life.
Now where am I?
Here all disgraced.

These steps I take
Lead me one way.
Only this way
Leads to another place.

What do you see?
Is this a dream?
Is this a nightmare
Or maybe my home indeed?

Take me from here
Will you save me?
(Repeat)
