[Verse 1]
山がちの地形が生んだ
小さな独立した都市「ポリス」
神殿があるアクロポリスの麓で
市民たちが集まり会義を開いた
[Pre-Chorus]
最初は王様や貴族が支配
でも金持ちの平民が戦いで活躍
「金で武器を買える重装歩兵」
彼らが発言権を求め始めた
[Chorus]
民主政治が生まれた場所 アテネ
市民は民会で発言し投票
ソロン ペイシストラトス クレイステネス
段階を踏んで拡大した自由
[Verse 2]
独裁者を予防するオストラキスモス
陶片追放で１０年間さようなら
将軍（ストラテゴス）が市民を指揮した
民主政治の最盛期 ペリクレスの時代
[Bridge]
でも市民は男性だけ
女性や奴隷 外国人は参加できない
不完全だったかもしれないけれど
「市民が主役」その理想は今も生きている
[Outro]
ポリスの誇りと
自由の魂
次は巨大な敵
ペルシアとの戦いへ
