Heard this song a few years ago and it's been one of my favourites ever since 

Shannon Saunders - Atlas (original song)

Based on George Seferis Poetry

[Verse 1]
In Platres, nightingales sing,
Whispers in the leaves they bring,
On souls that can't return, they weep,
No kisses, only cries so deep.

[Chorus]
The nightingales won’t let you sleep,
Their song a haunting, ceaseless sweep,
Echoes of sorrow, tales of pain,
In Platres, sleep won’t come again.

[Verse 2]
Platres, where are you? Who knows?
I've wandered lands where fate bestows,
New names, gods' cruel jest,
My fate, a wavering quest.

[Verse 3]
Lyric bird by Proteus' shore,
Slave-girls' laments, Helen's lore,
‘I didn’t sail,’ she cried in vain,
At Troy, a phantom's pain.

[Chorus]
The nightingales won’t let you sleep,
Their song a haunting, ceaseless sweep,
Echoes of sorrow, tales of pain,
In Platres, sleep won’t come again.

[Verse 4]
Greece, desolated by plight,
Bodies lost to sea and night,
All for a shadow, gods' cruel scheme,
For Helen, just a dream.

[Verse 5]
On Cyprus’ shore, alone I stand,
A fable slipping through my hand,
So much suffering, life’s descent,
For a tunic, time misspent.

[Chorus]
The nightingales won’t let you sleep,
Their song a haunting, ceaseless sweep,
Echoes of sorrow, tales of pain,
In Athens, joy won’t come again.

Helen...
