This song is about goddess Athena as depicted in battle. Promachos Athena was an armed goddess that fought with and protected her devotees during warfare. Her statue was situated in Parthenon. As an allegory this song is an invocation to a divine intervention for safe passage and salvation.
lyrics
PROMACHOS
Goddess of Light
Place us under your wing
Foes are at sight
Strike with your mighty shield
In hell we dive
It seems we can’t survive
Goddess of Light
Come show us what was taught
We’ve been at night
So long that we forgot
In hell we dive
It seems we can’t survive
Goddess of Light!
Goddess of Light!
Goddess of Light
Lend us your brightest spear
Come forth and smite
Before our deepest fear
