Prometheus

Sprang enemy contact

They had to flee to stay alive

Not a man among them

The warrior type, to wield a sword and fight

No, their way is blocked from dark and fog

A brave young man stepped forth

With will to guide them

Making their way through the

Forest swamp with sweat and blood

Its rotten breath is deadly

Despair is crawling back into their minds

No, they’re crying out, they can’t go on

The young man rips his chest

His heart’s on fire

Leads them finally out the darkness, then fades his shining heart

Bloodstained by the hole on his chest, hе too then falls apart

Pass him by excited

Tramplе on his heart

They cannot understand, they fear, the heart that gives them light

With their heads in the sand, can’t hear, won’t see who’s left behind

Constantly feeds

And when it’s time, it’s gonna feed off me

Lurid and sublime, I am set free, to get burned again

Chained upon a cliff, my emotions flee

This creature's giving me no chance, to thrive or breathe

Prometheus

Damned and unseen

Prometheus

Life owes to thee
