He who towers over the golden sands
He who plods above the blue mirror
A soldier without an army
The lone sentinel of the isle
Carved from the most humble metal
Unaware of his true nature
Programmed with a sole purpose
Sturdy and durable warrior
A machine with a human soul
Protector of the Cretan clans
Foe to incomers
Friend to locals
Compassion from a cold face
Stoic like any statue
He who loyally serves a foreign maiden
Mother to royal blood
