The first born raised to be perfect
Destined for glory
Carrying the world on their shoulder
(Atlas would pity them in fact)
Flying too close to the sun
Only to fall back below the earth
(Icarus should’ve warn them of that)

Fear is a weapon
Love is forbidden
She calls out for god but only finds what’s hidden
Her world is falling
And There is deep waters coming

Loses track of what came back
Have you forgotten
Where you came from
The land beyond the free
Where your parents had to flee
This is not your perfect reality

Burn your heart
Destroy your mind
There is no god that will save you in time
Call Athena goddess of wisdom
See if she will save you in this life

Your mother has abandoned you
The gods turn there eye
You are left with denial
That if your life is actually vital

Home isn’t home anymore
You are left with an empty shell
Today is the last day you say your farewells
