ILIUM lyrics : "Antigone"

The fight is over now, both are dead
Which way will I turn?
Polynices, Eteocles my friends

Both in blood we're bound
Fought for the Polis, take it for their own
But now death's seeds are sown

What is happening to the system?
Is this really Dikaios?
Where is my free will?

Family or Polis - who can tell?
Creon the Polis supports Polynices
As he fought for the state

But I cannot bury only one
Creon sees Eteocles a traitor
Turning on his state

What is happening to the system?
Is this really Dikaios?
Where is my free will?

Family or Polis - who can tell?
My life of pain has taught me this
That no one reign ensures you bliss

Be true to me 'cause I'm the one
Not the state who can bring me undone
Creon has now lost his family

Haemon, Eurydice
Creon's tragedy is now overt
Now he sees his guilt

Oedipus my father of the curse
Has led us all to death
