Cronus
01:58
|

Birthing the gods
Was our downfall
Without mercy
We were betrayed
No light will reach my eyes
Confined
I must admit
My transgression was an attempt
To cull the last of six children
Does the crime match the sentence?
Eternal life
Chained in the deepest pit of hell
Oh, our history
So doomed to repeat
Just as I, against my father
So have you against me
Oh, our history
So doomed to repeat
Just as I, condemned to grovel
So will you taste defeat

Rhea

Oh, my love, my brother
My husband
Oh, you will not take
My final gift of life
I was conflicted
Between my love for you and love for them
But you understated your actions
A seventh attempt, six successful
Did I wish for your cruel fate?
No, but I could not allow you to continue
Culling your own from unchecked paranoia
The strike follows the thunder
The paradigm
The endless circle of hate, fear and violence
Justified?

Oceanus
03:26
|
|||
The coursing winds
Carry my name in the air
At least, I recall they used to
The vicious currents
Demanding tribute to the depths
No longer provided to my throne
The new God
Poseidon
Or Neptune?
Who really gives a fuck?
Have I lost my relevance?
Forgotten in their decadence
Yet I am still omnipotent
Over the waters, deaf to their shrill cries for mercy
Pay, they will pay for their hubris
Fill their lungs with salt
Pay, they will pay for their hubris
Vainly struggle against the waves
I hear their pleas
But not to me
They only seeth
At the new God of the sea

Theia
03:00
|
|||
I am the mother of the sun
Adorned with gold
I am the mother of the moon
Adorned with silver
Thank my children for the blessing of light
In both day and the night
Lest you forget the beauty of the dawn
Which I too did sire
I see your hands bask in the warmth
Provided by my son
I see your hands bask in the dusk
Provided by my daughter
But with every blessing comes a price
Burn

Hyperion / Mnemosyne
02:33
|
|||
My chain of fire
Unravels the heavens
My pure desire
For wisdom to no end
With my knowledge I can confirm
The flames of vengeance know no bounds
Just as the seasons cycle with stars
So shall we forever battle
Resolve
The fire dwindles
Not just for us
Mankind will shed
Their dependency on gods and become their own
Birthing the gods
Was our downfall
