Stormlord - The Burning Hope lyrics

At the dawn of time when the Earth was young

A battle was wildly raging

The reign of Cronos fell down to pieces

by Tytan's rage he was dethroned

Under Zeus' leadership the victory was reached

In the gloomy depths

of Tartaros the tyrant was exiled

Then only wastelands and silent valleys

were left where life once dwelled

By clay and fire Prometheus created

the first man while Zeus breathed

the life into him

From the sacred hands of Gods

humanity was born

But their souls were not complete yet

'cause fear possessed Zeus' thoughts

Prometheus couldn't bear Zeus arrogance

[Prometheus:] "Mankind deserves more, they need our help!"

but the father of Gods just made his choice

[Zeus:] "I don't want them to threaten me, one day!

This mortal breed must remain as weak as the animals they are!"

So, Prometheus understood there was nothing more to do

The time for wise words comes to an end

And he decided...

To give mankind a hope

He stole the fire from

The chariot of the Sun

A spark was hidden in a hollow wood

The fire changed man's doom

But horrible was Prometheus' fate

When from the sky

Zeus saw the flames burning bright

To a column he was chained on the Caucasus peak

By Efestus he was trapped,

Tormented by an eagle's jaws
