GEORGIOS AVEROF – Heart of Hellas
This is a musical tribute to the Georgios Averoff, the legendary Greek armored cruiser that changed the course of naval history in the Balkans and stood as a symbol of strength through two world wars.
Built in Italy. Bought by Greece. Feared by empires. Loved by generations.
Today she rests as a floating museum in Athens — but her legacy sails on.

Some noteable insights during research and making of the song.
The people of Greece refer their ships as "He" not "She"
Correctly it's "Georgios Averof" (one "f") - it's often refered to "Averoff" (two ff). This is based on old english documents, with errors in the translation. The "1-F-spelling" is the correct one. ;-)

Lyrics
[Verse 1 ]
From Livornos docks to Hellenic flame,
He bore the strength of Greece’s name.
A gift of steel, of noble will,
To guard the seas where gods stand still.
[Verse 2 – The Balkan Thunder]
He shattered chains with roaring pride,
Led victory on the rising tide.
With every blast and fearless cry,
The Averof raised Hellas high.
[Chorus – Hymn of Pride]
Averoff, O son of stone,
Shield of Greece, forever known.
Your flag flew bold, your cannons rang,
And songs of freedom proudly sang.
In storm and fire, you stood the line—
Your name, eternal, shall ever shine!
[Verse 3 – The Nation's Oath]
Through darkest war, through empire's fall,
He held the line, he heard the call.
For land and sea, for blood and kin,
He fought so Greece could rise again.
[Bridge]
"He is not rust. He is resolve.
A nation’s vow the waves absolve.
Where Averof sails, the past is near—
And every Greek stands prouder here."
[Final Chorus]
Averof, O heart of Greece,
Your strength endures, your guard won’t cease.
You are the flame that still ignites,
The soul that sails through ancient nights.
Let every son and daughter cry—
The Averof shall never die!
