The Most Amazing Opening Ceremony...... Athens....... did it Again! As far as concern the results... Hands Up........ And here the Lyrics : ""The Mermaid Song Praise the Land of blinding Light Where Music was first sung by the Sun! Praise the ancient Seas that echoed While tracing Poetry on the sand! The unaccomplished Song of Life Had thus begun its tune... Rhapsodies about Wars and Love Prayers and Odes And Anthems and Hymns Fractions and Parts of a mystic Song Where they belong: The Song of Life! The Song of Life In this Land is born! - Nymphs Naiads and Nereids! -Tritons and Oceanids! - Carry on the sacred Song In every tongue and tradition As song of Victory Of Consolation In times of darkness Praise the Man who raised his voice And filled the atmosphere with his chant! Praise the resonating Winds And Light that conquests Darkness of Night
