In case you are wondering what's going on in track 8, it's titled 'Electra' and is inspired by Sophocles' play of the same name.
Which coincidentally was one of the set books when I did my Ancient Greek GCSE.
The lyrics are in Attic Greek (though do not quote directly from the play).
It is not a happy play ;)))

I am a barbarian having eschewed the classics at the tender age of 13, to study French, only later to have to take a 1 year Latin crash course at UCT to bring me up to the equivalent of A level Latin, in one year, to be allowed to proceed with the BA LLB. In those days Latin (or Greek) were obligatory within the "cursus honorum" necessary to proceed with the LLB. I passed the Latin Intensive course by the skin of my teeth (after a viva) but I shudder to think what would would have happened if I have had chosen the Greek, so I bow down before you as one who can translate Attic Greek. ^:)^

The BA part of my degree was really civilized, allowing me to study mathematics and history as well, prior to the rigors of Roman, and Roman Dutch Law. The mathematics helped me a lot more later than the legal side I must admit.

I took the slack liberty of translating the song you posted using AI... life like the Greek, is basically tragic, but I post the music...

















Loved the music by the way!

Now Bony he has gone from his wars all a-fightin'
He has gone to the place where he takes no delight in.
And there he may sit down and tell the sights he's seen of
When full long doth he mourn on the Isle of St. Helena.

No more in St. Cloud will he'll appear in great splendor
Nor step forth from the crowdlike the great Alexander,
He may look to the east , while he thinks of Hana,
with is heart full of war, on the Isle of St. Helena

The wide rushing waves all around the shores a-washin'
And the wide billows heaves on the wild rocks are dashin'.
He may look over the main to the great Mount Diana
With his eyes on the waves that surround St. Helena.

Oh, Louisy she weeps for her husband's departin'
And she dreams while she sleeps and she wakes broken-hearted.
There is none to console her, thought there is many to be with her
While alone she does mourn while she thinks of St. Helena.

So you that have wealth, beware of ambition
For there is some twist of fate could soon change your condition.
Be steadfast in time what's to come change you cannot
For maybe your race will end on the Isle of St. Helena.
