The Minoan culture

(Verse 1) The Minoan culture, ancient and fair, On Crete it flourished, leaving traces rare. Isle in the Mediterranean, blessed by divine, The Cretan culture, by King Minos, a sign. (Verse 2) Palaces of Knossos, Phaistos, and Mallia, Witnesses of a time, so splendid and grand. Minoan art, a treasure of the past, In every stone and every line, a story vast. (Verse 3) But then came the Dorians, with destruction in mind, The barbarians, burning all, without bind. An era of destruction, of migrations and woe, Yet hope remains, for a brighter tomorrow. (Chorus 1) The Minoan culture, once great and bold, On Crete it lives on, in every stone and fold. Despite the darkness that overcame its land, Time will turn for the better, it's fate to withstand. (Chorus 2) The Minoan culture, a legacy so rich, In the hearts of people, it will forever pitch. Though the world may change, and all may fade away, The Minoan culture will forever stay.
