Swimming Wrestlers Song

Song: Swimming Wrestlers
Music, Lyrics and Voices: AI
[Verse1]
Beneath the Aegean's shimmering, sunlit skin,
Two forms descend, a contest to begin.
The silence of the deep becomes their ring,
Where sea-swept muscles strain and sinews cling.
No sand-pit now, but undulating blue,
As limbs, like sculpted marble, twist anew.
The water holds their breath, a muted sound,
And wraps their struggle on the liquid ground.
[Verse2]
One grapples low, a tripod hold of might,
The other blocks, a dancer in the light.
Their bodies ripple, pale and fast,
A silent contest, built to last.
The sea, a witness to this human art,
Watches the clash of a determined heart.
A sudden grasp, and a determined push,
Against the watery, green, and muffled hush.
[Verse3]
One pulls away, his chest a-throb with need,
Then lunges back to plant a forceful move.
The water parts, then closes as they roll,
Two striving spirits grasping for control.
No referee to judge a pin or fall,
Just sea-life scattering at the human thrall.
The air above a memory of breath,
Their struggle sinks into a deeper depth.
[Verse4]
Until, with one last, monumental strain,
One is thrown free, to drift above the pain.
The loser sinks, his strength now spent and gone,
A lonely swimmer fading from the dawn.
The victor rises to the light's embrace,
The victor's form a triumph in his grace.
And in the depths, the loser's shadow sleeps,
Where memory and mystery of Greece lies deep.
