Prometheus (Bonus)From the Dawn of Mankind, in the bleakness of nightFrom the formless and void, of his birth A journey, a struggle, endless in time To attain understanding and strength The fire of will, Prometheus gave So they, as gods, could create and destroy A light on the path, of prosperity From archaic void, to an ending unknown Within mankind's hand, the greatest of power To consume and to reign upon earth But restraint he disdained, consequence ignored In blind search of truth, wisdom was lost Formed from the earth, from whence given life Bestowed with the fire of gods Heedless of presage, resolved to defy The cause of this mortal design As civilization reaches its end From origin, primordial, to the status of gods The fire of power, burns in their minds For their creation, an agony of suicide For the gift of fire, a consequence of torment Bound to knowledge, to suffer its wrath For the knowing negates, the innocent mind As clear sight is gained, darkness consumes |
