lyrics

* Scene 1 *

(Music: Εμφανίστηκε 10 μέρες μετά στην Ομόνοια / She appeared 10 days later in Omonoia Square)

A voice-over explains: “In the story “The Family of the Vourdalak” by Tolstoj, Gorca says: “If I return after 10 days or later then kill me because I will have become a vampire”. This story is about a woman that reappears 10 days after going missing in the dirtiest and dangerous square of Athens, implying her vampire nature”.

[The audio clips in the song are from an old news reel and they talk about a missing girl and then about a church of satanists in the center of Athens that has a bat at its entrance].

«Δεν θα γυρίσω. Και αν γυρίσω, δεν θα είναι για καλό». Αυτά ήταν τα τελευταία λόγια της Ρέλας στους γονείς της τη μέρα πριν εξαφανιστεί. Το 17χρονο κορίτσι είχε εμμονή με την πλατεία Ομονοίας. Το σκοτάδι της τη μάγευε. Τα πνεύματα στα στενά την καλούσαν. Το κάλεσμά τους ήταν γλυκόπιοτο. Μπορούσε να το γευτεί με κάθε αίσθησή της, ακόμα και αν η επίγευση που άφηνε στη γλώσσα της ήταν μεταλλική. Τίποτα δεν θα χαλούσε το πέρασμα στην αιωνιότητα. Τα πάντα γύρω από την Ομόνοια είναι ποτισμένα με αιωνιότητα. Και εκείνη ρούφηξε και την τελευταία σταγόνα. Βγαίνοντας από τη βαριά σιδερένια πόρτα, έριξε μια ματιά στη νυχτερίδα και της έκλεισε το μάτι.

“I’m not coming back. If I do, beware.” Those were Rela’s last words to her parents the day before she disappeared. The 17-year-old girl was obsessed with Omonia Square. Its darkness enchanted her. The hidden spirits in the alleys were calling her. Their call was like a sweet drink on her lips. She could taste it with every sense, even if the aftertaste it left on her tongue was metallic. Nothing would ruinl the passage to eternity. Everything around Omonia Square was drenched in eternity. And she… she sucked every last drop. Stepping out of the heavy iron door, she glanced at the bat and winked.
