Santorini - a tale of the beautiful island in the Aegean Sea (Rob Pitney & Mark Sharman)

Who doesn't love a greek tragedy?.
My friend Rob Pitney sent me this fab lyric, inspired by his European holiday. It's set around Santorini in the Cyclades islands in the Aegean sea.  The twins cling to the cliffs made by the huge caldera (created) from an ancient super volcano.

Lyric

We travel all around the world, through countries far and wide,
looking for that perfect view, to make us warm inside.
In Greece we saw the sapphire abyss, the all-seeing eye of myth.
Like Zeus would see while on a cloud, high above the cliffs.

Santorini oh Santorini, your spell is cast on me,
Santorini, Santorini don’t ever set me free.
Caldera view, Cycladic curse, once seen ...you won’t forget.
Caldera view, Cycladic curse, the greatest sight on earth.

Red ochre rock, white walls and switch- back stairs.
Cobalt domes in golden glow, near Medusa’s watchful throne.
Silk dresses flick and cameras click,
a memory set in stone.

Santorini oh Santorini, your spell is cast on me,
Santorini, Santorini don’t ever set me free.
Caldera view, Cycladic curse, once seen ...you won’t forget.
Caldera view, Cycladic curse, the greatest sight on earth.

We were standing there on the Skaros Rock, admiring the great view,
A moments lapse, my love she slipped, to the waters far below.

Santorini oh Santorini, your spell is cast on me...
