Kronos and Zeus

My father, Heaven’s and Earth’s spawn,
has cast his numerous siblings down
Then he turned his eyes towards my kin,
yet I, the strongest, dared oppose him
Thunder striking down, I shall seize thy crown.
The Titans I set free to wreak havoc ‘pon thee.
I will smite thee, father, engulf you in darkness,
I can not stand idly by!
I can hear my brothers, the wailing of my sisters.
For their freedom I shall fight!
As the end draws near, my victory becomes clear.
O, Lord father, now you fall!
My father, who never learned to bow,
has cast his father, Uranus, down.
He took Olympus with his family’s blood,
and ruled through tyranny that fear had wrought
Thunder striking down, I now seize thy crown.
You made Olympus bleed, I shall set it free.
I will smite thee, father, engulf you in darkness,
I can not stand idly by!
I can hear my brothers, the wailing of my sisters.
For their freedom I shall fight!
As the end draws near, my victory becomes clear.
O, Lord father, now you fall!
My father is nearing his end right now.
He’s on his knees, for I struck him down.
I freed the realm from his tyranny,
and rule the mortals in prosperity.
Thunder striking down, I now wear the crown.
My brothers are free and rule next to me.
Thrown in Tartarus, with the Titans.
He, who had it all, took the greatest fall.

Black Shield Nymph

When celestial beings falter, implode,
as Atlas crushed by the heavens’ globe
True darkness will be victorious,
and the destruction enormous
A gap in reality born,
and light from the cosmos torn
Even the gods will wail
where the bound of existence fails
A gaping maw that devours all
A spacetime tear where light shall fall
A stygian mouth where time stands still
A darkness entered at your own peril
Unlike with Scylla and Charybdis,
you don’t choose the monster or the abyss
They’ve both become as one,
a force that cannot be undone
And who are we but mortal men?
Flawed in our core and ignorant
The ravaging death of a sun,
a stellar carcass no god can outrun
A gaping maw that devours all
A spacetime tear where light shall fall
A stygian mouth where time stands still
A darkness entered at your own peril

Bit by the Iron Snake
03:07
|
|||
|
Was running through the night, had no time to waste
Everything was dark and everything was strange
I came upon its tracks and I could hear it scream
Suddenly it attacked, like in an evil dream
Mouthless face, iron skin, monstrous thing,
blinding speed, crushing me in a thousand bits
Bit by the iron snake!
Bit by the iron snake!
Bit by the iron snake!
Bit by the iron snake!
It slithered out of sight, the creature had had its taste
Should’ve heard it from afar, it was my mistake
As I lie here in the cold, my fate, it seems so clear
For I can hear its song, a second one is near
Mouthless face, iron skin, monstrous thing,
blinding speed, crushing me in a thousand bits
Bit by the iron snake!
Bit by the iron snake!
Bit by the iron snake!
Bit by the iron snake!

Prometheus' Gift
03:56
|
|||
|
Iapetus sired children four,
two of them were bred for war
One of them held all the traits, while his twin cared
for our fate
For ten years a battle raged,
Prometheus saw his brothers caged
Then Hindsight made a mistake,
for which Forethought fire would take
After the Titanomachy
The Olympians claimed their victory
Still mankind lived in the dust
One creature’s benevolence
gave mankind a fighting chance
We forever honour Prometheus
As the new lord had anticipated,
these beings soon became complacent
no special traits were given them,
nor would they ever again
His rage and ire terrible to see,
as would our hero’s penance be
We may forever stand upright,
as Prometheus daily dies
After many a century
The Olympians would no longer be
And mankind follows only its desire
This world was never meant to be
The Dominion of humanity
Remember him who brought us fire

Frenzy
02:14

They have crossed the line
that I stood behind
I sensed the danger far too late
Then they took what’s mine
For dead, I got left behind,
and now I’m entering a...
FRENZY!
I’m in a FRENZY!
I’m in a FRENZY!
I’m ENRAGED!
Now I know where I stand
I walk among the condemned
forevermore haunted by my hate
Now I know who I am
No longer just a man
‘Cause I’m stuck in a...
FRENZY!
I’m in a FRENZY!
I’m in a FRENZY!
I’m ENRAGED!
And I’m going insane...
Now my private war begins
I’m coming for your skins
Vengeance is the fucking game
They took my dignity,
so their lives belong to me
Forever stuck in a...
Frenzy!

Complex

I’m a child of the light,
so my spirit cried the day of my verdict
They say I will die, no matter my plight,
yet I don’t deserve it
Cursing my lot, I went searching for God without success
As I’ll soon cease to be, I fall to my knees,
Lord, it’s You I address
Now I’m at a crossroads will I make my heart cold,
or give in to peace?
Will I go insane because of the pain
with this mortal disease.
The prayers unspoken have left me broken,
and no longer kind.
Then I remembered his story, his quest for glory,
rebelling against the Heavens Divine
Angels fallen from the sky
Don’t let me live a lie
Like proud Lucifer, I’ll stand up and fight
against the Heavens’ might.
I went on my way blessing every day,
I survive through sheer hate
‘Cause my pleas to God have been for naught,
I’ve lost my faith
Now my soul is lost, speak not of trust in a divine entity
My anger’s complete, and my very first feat would be to set
my master free
At long last reborn, the lightbringer’s scorn
upon entering this plane
The creed is still flawed, his brothers still crawled,
though it’s all in vain
So he gathered his legions of fallen, obedient,
again they defy
And thousands would pray, for on this very day
their Holy Father has left them to die
My Father who has abandoned me
I just pray for liberty
I had to turn towards Your son
He would be the defiant one
Father won’t You set me free?
This pain is consuming me!
I’m a child of the dark, and I know I’ve gone too far, Lord,
I beg for forgiveness
The one I released in pain fought for his own gain,
I was barely a witness
For the blood on my hands, you must understand,
the Lord will curse me.
Though I regret my defiance, there’s still only silence,
Father, I miss you, can’t You see?
Blessed Angels in the sky
Won’t You hear my penant cry?
Like brave Lucifer I kneel down and cry
Forgive me, Father Whom I’ve denied
Blessed Angels in the sky
Won’t You hear my penant cry?
As the Morning Star loses his light,
I can finally die

Enduring Atlas
04:15
|

|
When the heavenly war was fought, I led my brothers from the front
When defeated by the heavenly son, he told me my loyalty was sin
He was going to punish me, a sour note note to his victory.
In my brothers’ eyes the question I see, how could we not win?
Blood was spilled
How could we have failed?
You can not stand against the master of the gods,
he who conquered the Titans
Forevermore I’ll stand fast in the west
Enduring Atlas holds the heavens
As my punishment was met, I looked at the new gods with regret
Perhaps this war had not been villainy, but a cry against our iron fist
Even though I’ll take that apple still, I may at last bend to his will
A brand new ruler in the sky. A new dawn will at last exist
Justice is met
Atlas does not regret
Corruption has spread
For naught we have bled
You can not stand against the master of the gods
He who conquered the Heavens
Forevermore I’ll stand fast in the west
Forever Atlas stands our pillar
Now that many years have passed, the die seems to have at last been cast
The power of Olympus waned, as Prometheus gave Mankind fire
At the end of our Odyssey, the twelve will forever villains be
The fate of all great men the same, to be struck down by their desire

Cthulhu Fhtagn
04:58
|
|||

What is this I hear?
The sound seems so clear,
and I can’t tell why,
yet suddenly I’m willing to die
I’ve looked around,
and guess what I found
They speak to the meek,
these priests that power seek
Dark images in my dreams:
ancient ruins of R’lyeh
Strange voices that speak to me, chanting:
Cthulhu Fhtagn!
In these images that I see, these ruins seems so clear
I’m truly in this place, the ruins of R’lyeh
The voices in my ear, whisper something unclear
I want to escape, please Lord, let me wake
What is this I feel? - I swear it feels real
I know it’s a dream, but it’s so real I could scream
I’m drawn to place, that I can’t erase
Can’t leave it behind. It’s stuck in my mind
Dark visions that haunt my dreams
I can’t take it much longer
Silent whispers confirm my fears, chanting:
Cthulhu Fhtagn!
In these visions that haunt my dreams
I hear only screams
My sanity is at stake, so I don’t want to break
The whispers in my ear give a voice to my fears
I know they speak true with the sound of Cthulhu
Dark sensations instill fear
Madness, sanity fading
Strong urges, I can’t resist chanting:
Cthulhu Fhtagn!
On this island I shall stay until my very last day
I can no longer see what has become of me
It’s for silence that I yearn, not to see and not to learn
Too late, I see him rise, and I know I will die
