Lyrics

Prometeus
(Menario - Capelli)
from the album "Time of Truth"

Now, right now, I only want to die…
Shouldn’t my time come, at last,
To vanish
In the dust?

But men have no memory, gods no mercy.
Only the fire I gave them
Will burn
Forever on Earth.

Eagle, stop for a moment,
Eagle, stop, listen to me.

Do you know which was my crime?
Do you know what is my name?

Gods where scared by men, tiny shining souls
Always asking “Why?”
Wide eyes,
Staring at the sky

Unbearable pain, endless, eternal.
I’ll never have a rest,
Claws deep down
Into my chest.

Prometeus, forgotten gold,
One millions years he lived.
Men raising from the mud, he saw,
Standing and screaming “no!”

Father of gods, whatever you will do,
I gave then a choice,
Now they see:
They want fear you!

Eagle, silent eagle, eating my liver
Forever regrowing
Tell me why
I cannot die.

We got the light, we got a chance.
Trough the night we will see,
To break this eternal dance,
To be finally free.

Scared gods, can you chain the fire
Like arrows from a bow,
Arches of light in the night,
Sparks will fly and grow.
