SOL INVICTUS 18/11/2013


(from  the album « Echotropia » music: Kalyviotis, lyrics: Stassinopoulou) Born in the heart of winter Revived in the fires of June   I come and go on earth Drawning the sun on his chariot In a glorious ceremony I dance to cherish his miracle   In the heart of the fire my picture Every […]
