Too often I see people only see Ares for war, so I got this idea in my head, made it into a few ai songs that I fell in love with but will share the lyrics with you.
Used chatgpt to organize the lyric I wrote into lyric form and to add the greek so hope it translated it right, the lyrics I came up with myself; art is by bing ai image generator but I edited it, the female is based on my persona with one of the many looks i like to give her.
🔥 ARES — “RISE” (Ancient Greek Battle-Chant Version)
VERSE 1
No motivation… she stares at the ceiling,
Rain splattering against the window glass.
Her chest too heavy, her mind shut down,
Her world a muted, colorless haze—
Until she felt it…
A tremor like footsteps echoing through her soul.
(CHANTERS WHISPER: Ἀνάστα… Ἀνάστα… / “Anásta… Anásta…”)
ARES ENTRY
A voice like thunder tears the silence—
“RISE.”
(BATTLE CHANT: ἈΝΑΣΤΑ! ἈΝΑΣΤΑ! ἈΝΑΣΤΑ!)
She jolts upright at the command.
“Remember yourself.
Remember how far you’ve come.
Will it all be for nothing?
Is this how you will spend your days—
Lying beneath a ceiling?
NO.
Now RISE.”
(CHANTERS: ἈΝΑΣΤΑ! ἈΝΑΣΤΑ! / ANÁSTA! ANÁSTA!)
PRE-CHORUS
Your knees—they shake.
But your heart has burned before.
It has yearned to keep going.
Remember your fire.
Stand. Fight for your own name.
Do not give in.
Do not become complacent.
(CHANTERS: ΣΤΉΘΙ! ΜΆΧΕ! / STĒTHI! MÁCHE!)
(FOLLOW-UP: ΘΆΡΣΕΙ! / THÁRSEI!)
VERSE 2
She looks at Ares—shocked, breathless—
But he does not soften.
He forces her to her feet.
“You are better than this.
Do not lose to your mind.
I see the thoughts that battle your heart—
Do not give in.
Do not give up.
RISE.”
(CHANT: ἈΝΑΣΤΑ! ἈΝΑΣΤΑ!)
“Every wound, every ache means you are alive—
It means you survived.”
(CHANT: ΖῆΘΙ! ΖῆΘΙ! / ZĒTHI! ZĒTHI!)
CHORUS (Vesper)
“I will stand, Lord Ares—
I will fight my mind.
It tears me down, but I’ll push on.
It tells me I’m worthless, unworthy,
But I will not bow to the storm inside.
My soul is weary—
Yet still, I rise.”
(FULL CHANTERS: ἈΝΑΣΤΑ! ΝΊΚΑ! / ANÁSTA! NÍKA!)
(OVERCHANT: ΜΆΧΕ! / MÁCHE!)
VERSE 3 (Ares)
Ares places a hand on her shoulder.
His voice becomes a sharpened shield.
“Vesper, you are so much more.
Do not let them define your worth.
Do not bend.
Do not break.
Defend yourself.
Stand tall.
Show them they cannot silence you.
Rise and push forward.”
(CHANTERS: ΠΡΌΒΗΘΙ! ΠΡΌΒΗΘΙ! / PRÓVETHI! PRÓVETHI!)
(FOLLOW: ΣΤΉΘΙ! / STĒTHI!)
He lifts her chin so her eyes meet his.
“Remember who you are.
Do not lose yourself in the battlefield of the mind.
You are worth more than you know—
Stronger than you think.
Do not back down.
Walk forward.
If you stumble, I will push you up again.”
(CHANTERS: ΘΆΡΣΕΙ! ΝΊΚΑ! / THÁRSEI! NÍKA!)
FINAL CHORUS (Vesper)
“I will rise, Lord Ares—
I will fight.
I will not forget my worth.
My mind’s battle will not devour me.
Though my spirit trembles, I endure.
I will rise up.
I will push through.
But I ask for your guidance—
Your fire,
Your courage,
Your relentless voice.
AND I WILL RISE!”
(FULL ARMY CHANT: ἈΝΑΣΤΑ! ΝΊΚΑ! ΜΆΧΕ! / ANÁSTA! NÍKA! MÁCHE!)
(ECHO: ΘΆΡΣΕΙ! ΘΆΡΣΕΙ!)
