Elissabetha - CALYPSO (Symphonic Epic Metal)

Lyrics:

Lay down your oars, the shore is near
No storms are written in this sand
The years you lost will rest with me
Like salt dissolving in your hands

No watch, no wind, no calling horn
No dawn that asks you who you are
Here every wound forgets its edge
And every road is very far

(ahhh)

Verse 2

I do not promise victory
I do not speak of home or crown
I offer time without a weight
A sky where nothing pulls you down

Your name can sleep, your past can fade
No songs to finish, none to flee
Stay where the sea forgets to ask
What you were meant to be

(ohhh)

Chorus

Stay.
Let the years fall silent here.
Stay.
No gods are counting time with me.
Stay — and be unlost.

Verse 3

I’ve watched you drown in forward days
In oaths that never learned to breathe
I give you nights that do not end
And hands that ask you not to leave

No trial waits beyond this fire
No fate demands another scar
You may remain exactly so
As weary as you are

(ahhh)

Verse 4

The world will call you brave or gone
It will not know what you became
But here, beneath unmoving stars
No voice will carve you into flame

If rest is seen as lesser ground
Then let them keep their endless war
I keep the moment when you stop
And ask for nothing more

Chorus
Stay.
Let the years fall silent here.
Stay.
No gods are counting time with me.
Stay — and be unlost.

Bridge

λήθη γλυκεῖα
(ahhh — ohhh)
λήθη γλυκεῖα

(Sweet forgetting)

Chorus

Stay.
Let the years fall silent here.
Stay.
No gods are counting time with me.
Stay — and be unlost.

Final Chorus

Stay.
Let the world fade quietly.
Stay.
No oaths, no shores, no memory.
Stay — and never leave.

— About this album —

This song is part of the symphonic metal album
PENELOPE — a retelling of the Odyssey
from the voice that waited.

Not the hero who sailed,
but the woman who remained.

These songs explore loyalty, silence, endurance,
and the quiet strength of those history leaves behind.

No glory.
No conquest.
Only time, memory, and resolve.

Listen in order for the full journey.
