"Mystiko" (Greek: Μυστικό; "Secret") is a single by the Greek singer Peggy Zina. It was released on July 9, 2007 by Minos EMI. It has also been repackaged with Zina's album Ena and sold as Ena New Edition.
The song "Mystiko" was written for her wedding, where she sang the song to her husband at the reception.
Mystiko (foaled 1988) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that lasted from July 1990 to October 1992 he ran thirteen times and won four races, all of them at Newmarket. After taking the European Free Handicap on his first appearance as a three-year-old he recorded his most important success when winning the 2000 Guineas seventeen days later. His subsequent form was disappointing, although he did win the Challenge Stakes that autumn. In 1993 he was retired to stud, but had little success.
Mystiko was a grey horse with a clearly defined white blaze and four white socks. He was bred by the Australian Kingston Park Stud, who sent a small number of mares to the United States to be bred to leading American stallions. Mystiko was sired by the Northern Dancer stallion Secreto, whose win in the 1984 Epsom Derby was the highlight of a brief racing career. He was acquired as a yearling by the Dowager Lady Beaverbrook.
Lady Beaverbrook was considered an eccentric character who gave most of her horses names consisting of one word with seven letters (Bustino, Terimon, Boldboy, Niniski, Petoski), as this was the most common form for Derby winners. Mystiko (Greek for "secret") was trained throughout his career by Clive Brittain at Newmarket, Suffolk. His most regular jockey was Michael Roberts who rode him in eleven of his thirteen starts.

It's only a dream
[Verse 1]
I know that gobbled as a child, and got her own
Still he got to bless me too, I been struggling too long
Tryna keep my head up in this hateful world
Always been mama's soldier, never daddy's little girl
I did some fucked up shit, in the name of the game
Before we even call it that, still it's all the same
Shed, blood, sweat, and tears over the years I been scarred
Trace the tracks of my tears, they will show you who I are
Still I, stand strong wit the militant mind
Not no ice cold bitch, that's to easy to find
Try and maintain my mental, as a peaceful place
Still I be ready to die, till I see my mother's face
Got to unlace the rage that I feel
Constant struggle and madness, ain't got to claim to keep it real
True queen, considered twinkle in my eyes
The glide in my step, I bless the world before I die
And tries I might, ain't a damn thang I can do
Just got to hold on until I make it threw
Until I make it threw...
[x3]
It's only a dream
[Chorus]
I been dreamin, for so long
What's the meaning, meaning all my life
I been dreamin, for so long
Mama help me, help me make it right
[Verse 2]
It's long nights I shake, my body starve from anger
Hopin lady luck will hear my wish's
Instead of treatin me like a stranger
And Mr.Death plucks my people one by one
It's a cold world, and i'm one of the last suns
Forever shinin, even when the skys grey
Will I eternally suffer, mama tell me it will be okay
Chains at my window, I just wanna be free
I'm not scared to die, but why must my people bleed
I gotta get somethin it's my destiny
To all wives up in heaven, I say blessin me
Less I be the next fallen angel, tangled in the web
Givin a fuck about nothin, better off dead
But I don't wanna be ill, don't wanna be a woman token
So I rock mics, and spread love just keep hopin
Knowin these rainy days, they can't last forever
Tellin myself,"young world things will only get better"
[x3]
It's only a dream
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I get the feelin like i'm all surronded
Wit no way up out the jungle, guess I got to rule and ground me
Drown me in my sorrow's, that should never manifest
Let my??? forever from the deepest depth's
Man, I got the cuts for luck and the scars for freedom
Let the angel's come and get me, I'ma set it off when I see em
This life is such a dirty game
Mama never told me it would be so hard to maintain
So I make the purist devil faceable
The walls up out my mind,and so hard and laceable
Only by sorrow things, I wanna rule the planet
Travel to the ends for mine, like a bandit
Hand it to me, my visions ready to implement
Made it this for, hope bloody bodie's ain't my present
I'ma keep shinin,I got to make it happend
Find my place in the sun where me and my folks can keep laughin
[x3]
It's only a dream
La,la,la,la,la
