Born of Gaia's womb
an Olympus beholder
Forsaken by Zeus
fatherless, growing older
Promethean flame
of mortality colder
Like Atlas I've carried
the world on each shoulder
Condemned to the weight
of my Sisyphus boulder
A Minotaur slaying
Medusa's gaze holder
Lion amongst men
an Achilles heel soldier
For argonaut strive
makes my fleece all the golder
As Icarus pride
razes my wings to smolder
Beneath Helios
I will shine all the bolder
Releasing my mind
from Pandora's enclosure
And Tartarus pits
of my Hades exposure
No shears of Fates sever
my heartstrings' disclosure
Andromeda bound
by the promise I told her
In fields of Elysian
once more I shall hold her

Born of Gaia's womb
an Olympus beholder
Forsaken by Zeus
fatherless, growing older
Promethean flame
of mortality colder
Like Atlas I've carried
the world on each shoulder
Condemned to the weight
of my Sisyphus boulder
A Minotaur slaying
Medusa's gaze holder
Lion amongst men
an Achilles heel soldier
For argonaut strive
makes my fleece all the golder
As Icarus pride
razes my wings to smolder
Beneath Helios
I will shine all the bolder
Releasing my mind
from Pandora's enclosure
And Tartarus pits
of my Hades exposure
No shears of Fates sever
my heartstrings' disclosure
Andromeda bound
by the promise I told her
In fields of Elysian
once more I shall hold her
