Letter To Athens by Curse ov Dialect Lyrics
[Verse 1: Vulk Makedonski]
Isolated villager
Independent innovator
Tosk, Gheg, Vlach
Roma, Mediterranean coma
Hellenic vampire
Balkan conspiracy
Conspire
Ottoman yoke choking empire
Favouritism
Taxes
Battle axes
Christians’ heads on crosses
Innocent losses
Alien occupation breaking a nation
Sultans slavery system paid for through wisdom
Macedonian sufferers
No chance of uprising
Western powers too busy colonizing
Modernizing
Racism penetrating new worlds
Dishonest ownership
Trickery
Bitter evil establishment
Stabbing men
Fathom then
Fathom now
Lethal legal
Pelagonian eagle
Ambush devils
Like Arnhem land rebels
Fighting for existence
Enlisted
Destined to be tested
Senseless Muslim outcasts
Preying on defenceless peasants outclassed
Like chariots
Phanariots from Constantinople
Hopeless
But hopeful
With a hope call
Napoleon defeated
Rushing Russians discussing a lands conviction with Britain
Business first
Human rights second
Future consequence Armageddon
Eastern question
1826 tragedy
Strategy to segregate
Super powers interrogate
Separate and integrate
Assimilate
Afraid of unified Balkan state
Imperialists creating hate and linguistic confusion
Perilous urgency
Emergency
The first state to emerge in seas
Wicked breeze of a manufactured lease protected by Britain this state was Greece with a German king circling within
Beginning of construction and falsified history and lineage
Leaning on his chip and shoulder
Peloponisos soldier
Mixed ethnicities
Forced Hellenism
Created by foreigners
Stan Stefano agreement revised through lies
Ascendance of independence
For most guys but the holy land of Macedonia
Handed back to the Turks
A curse and future confrontation beckoned to be worse
Self-determination
End of 19th century
Meant to be the end of me
Many enemies ascending
Pretending to lend support
Through orthodox laws
Religious wars
Occurred October 23rd
Words were heard
1893 committee
Committing themselves
Gruev, Dimitrov, Arsov and Tatarchev
Songs sung to be free seeking autonomy
From Turkish oppression
Learning the lesson
Ideological battles against Bulgarian Vrhovists
Intellectual terrorists
Violent armed propaganda campaign
They demand we're the same
Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization
Poor willing men killing them
1903 Illinden massacre
Massive scars
Goce Deicev's resistance with no assistance from super powers
Foreign investors
European gestures
Lest we forget the past
But I can't let it pass
Forget the needy
Bucharest treaty
1913 partition of an ancient land
Belongs to ancient man
They're making plans
Artificial borders and orders
Forced assimilation
Or expulsion and denationalization
Of Macedonians from their own ancestral land
And manifesting scams
Contest
Long dressed
Invest
Incest
Christian Balkan cultural mess
Occupied by
Others in our motherland
Need a brother’s hand
Our movement suppressed to prove
They're the best
Population exchange:
1 million Greeks from Asia Minor
Settled in Aegean Macedonia
Cyrillic inscriptions destroyed on churches
Tombstones and icons
Am I wrong?
That's the truth in the song
Place names were Hellenised
Hell on earth
Hell in eyes
Evil guys
Terrorize
Goodbye to reason
Claiming ethnic rights was high treason
In the Greek state
I defeat fakes
Fascist dictators
General Metaxes was reigning in terror
Claiming an era
More injustice from 1913 to 1940
Then 500 years of Turkish glory
Vardar, Pirin and Aegean
Peace to pagan Makedonija
Macedonia for the Macedonians
Serbs try to manipulate our language
Bulgars try to eat our historical sandwich
But we know who we are
And we know where we stand
Cut off our hands
Rape and plunder
We'll take the thunder
Disappear
Re-appear stronger than ever
Feathers in the wind
Read their letters of sin
Scholars and historians
Try to force the Victorians
To change to Slav instead of Macedonian ethnicity
Through their Written simplicity
Taken from enemy source
While I protest
They're missing me and my call for peace you see
Greece is one country
Macedonia is another
Two separate people but still we are brothers
You can listen to the lies
Or look into my eyes
Which blink at the brink of perpetual light
Isolated villager
Independent innovator
Tosk, Gheg, Vlach
Roma, Mediterranean coma
Hellenic vampire
