lyrics

THE WAR

Zeus! Poseidon!
Demeter! Hades!

Stronghold on Olympus!
This is your Father speaking!
Why a council of war against me ?
Lay down your arms!
Send the 100 Handed
and theGiants home!
We can talk this out!
I promise to treat
your mother better,
than a whore!

Zeus! Poseidon!
Hera! Hades!

I am your Father and God of all!
I have a burning spear,
and a raging fire,
in my hypothalamus,
By my might you shall fall!

By this virus,
of rage in our blood
made me god protector
to consume you all,
so that we would not,
have this war!
Now, ten years of squirmishes
is enough, no more!

Zeus! Poseidon!
Hestia! Hades!

Don’t try to outsmart me!
or be besieged by fire
give up your coup d’état!
You are just a model government,
plotting against my supremacy!
But I am the military!

Commander!
What is your strategy!
I am your Leader!
Don’t you look stupidly at me!
Before now,
there has never been a War.
But victory is glory,
at the light of tomorrow day,
The summit of Olympus,
will be mine, legend will say,
I was ruthless,
in keeping my authority.

No more child’s play!
Archers load your bows
with arrows black,
Put fire into the valley of hay,
burn every living creature
in the way,

Troops afoot!
Get ready to attack!

But in the midst of the assault,
A great cry was heard,
I saw panic grip my army,
Disorganised,
they were slaughtered
before me.
Cursed by the prophecy,
I watched the soil
and water turn red.

With courage and pleas,
I tried to return those
who fled...

Don’t be gripped by fear!
Don’t Abandon Me!
