This song is inspired by Europa, a princess from Phoenician mythology, famously abducted by Zeus who had transformed himself into a white bull. Enchanted by the creature’s beauty, Europa climbed onto its back, only to be taken across the Mediterranean Sea to the island of Crete. There, she became the mother of Minos, linking her directly to the legendary Minoan civilization. Europa’s story inspired the naming of the entire continent of Europe. This song captures her journey from innocence to transformation, reflecting on her role as both a symbol of abduction and empowerment within mythic history.

Carried by the Tide

[Verse 1]
By Phoenician shores I used to play,
A maiden of the dawn, in fields of May.
But from the sea, a white bull came,
With gentle eyes and heart aflame.

[Pre-Chorus]
I touched the beast, no fear inside,
Not knowing where the waves would guide.
Upon his back, I soared away,
Beyond the lands I knew that day.

[Chorus]
Carried by the tide, across the endless blue,
A stolen heart, a fate I never knew.
From Tyre to Crete, my story rides,
Europa’s name forever in the tides.

[Verse 2]
In Crete I bore the king’s own seed,
From love divine and mortal need.
A lineage of rulers rose from me,
Bound by the threads of destiny.

[Bridge]
Though taken far from all I knew,
My spirit grew, my courage too.
A continent now bears my name,
A myth, a queen, eternal flame.

[Chorus]
Carried by the tide, across the endless blue,
A stolen heart, a fate I never knew.
From Tyre to Crete, my story rides,
Europa’s name forever in the tides.

[Outro]
Look to the lands that span the sea,
My legacy in history.
Europa lives in hearts and lore,
Her name and myth forevermore.
