Trying to take stock chained to this rock
An eagle's eating my liver it's a whole f*cking flock
Held down by my arms an iron spike through my immortal breast
They pierced my damned balls but my fertility's in you to rest
Human know me Prometheus is what you call me
I'm a God and cause I backed you Zeus overthrew me
I took fire from Olympus so that you'd ascend me
So you could master innovation all the arts that you need
You have hope? Good cause I'm the one who gave you your dreams
But repaying my trickery Zeus had intentions for me
Zeus you thought I'd hate life and abandon my mirth
You thought I'd hide from my ambition and hold back the earth
Just cause not every single dream of mine has always borne fruit?
Just cause you've swindled me out of all of my eternal youth?
I'm fashioning men in my image my likeness you see
You're being replaced for sure my oracles sing truth for me
(Draw near to the divine)
You live forever but time is still the master of you
(Close to heavens we shine)
Olympus lives but the people'll soon forget about you
(Our bright thoughts will sustain)
Cause by a trick I gave them power beyond the gods'
(More than your endless pain)
With fire and hope my race will show you what they're made of
I'll never revere the gods. Ah, Kratos, it's you
Tell Zeus your secret. Who overthrows him?
With your help, he'll rule a new race on a whim
Tell him to take the shackles off.
Kneel to Zeus.
Never! Torture me my lips are sealed.
In passing creatures you invest?
The Gods know how to survive, but beneath them's the best.
You fool. Imagine a nobler race. Men are blind.
Their biggest dreams are too small for an eternal mind.
Man frees himself with fire, his heart is sacred you'll see.
There'll be a man fulfilling man's potential ultimately
A world of prophecy not even Gods and Goddesses see
A Caesar with the soul of Christ takes over society
He'll match the gods and their beauty and invent a new dawn.
There's plenty more under the sun than you Gods
Beauty's nothing. You'll be crushed, you'll be gone.
I'll laugh the same,
Bring the pain give all you got my determination's unchanged.
(Draw near to the divine)
You live forever but time is still the master of you
(Close to heavens we shine)
Olympus lives but the people'll soon forget about you
(Our bright thoughts will sustain)
Cause by a trick I gave them power beyond the gods'
(More than your endless pain)
With fire and hope my race will show you what they're made of
So here I'm chained steadfast got sharp rocks in my back
Someday I'll be the one to put the head of Zeus on a rack
No regrets the consequences of my fire you'll see
Lights on Olympus Mons and on the Statue of Liberty
So for man I sacrifice all I'm about to suffer
They're our chance to transcend we don't get another
I know one day they master every skill and technique
And stop the fire from derailing worlds and all that we see
The God Hephaestus almost died and thanks to that he makes art
Mankind's beauty comes from death and that's his loss and his spark
Man has divine flaws - what a chance!
My fault too great a love of humankind The time's at hand
The earth is quaking thunder roaring senselessly
Lightning mixing with the ocean a sight never seen
But this will all pay off when humans finally find their hero
And I promise that my fire for you will never burn low
(Draw near to the divine)
I live forever, in hearts and minds I will seduce you
(Close to heavens we shine)
You may forget me but I will always be here for you
(Our bright thoughts will sustain)
Cause in the dark a single light can shine for miles
(More than your endless pain)
With fire and hope your beauty shapes the world in my style
Draw near to the divine
Close to heavens we shine
Our bright thoughts will sustain
More than your endless pain
οὐκ ἔστιν αἴκισμ᾽ οὐδὲ μηχάνημ᾽ ὅτῳ
προτρέψεταί με Ζεὺς γεγωνῆσαι τάδε
πρὶν ἂν χαλασθῇ δεσμὰ λυμαντήρια
πρὸς ταῦτα ῥιπτέσθω μὲν αἰθαλοῦσσα φλόξ
λευκοπτέρῳ δὲ νιφάδι καὶ βροντήμασι
χθονίοις κυκάτω πάντα καὶ ταρασσέτω
γνάμψει γὰρ οὐδὲν τῶνδέ μ᾽ ὥστε καὶ φράσαι
πρὸς οὗ χρεών νιν ἐκπεσεῖν τυραννίδος
