lirik lagu midnight odyssey – hidden in tartarus
for centuries, the last of the wandering
bodies within the stars
was but a tiny fl!cker
its secret, its grandeur
hidden for so long to the eyes
of mortals below
layers of ice and layers of cloud
orbit around
the true nature of your past
is hidden in tartarus
oh burning titan, so far from the sun
your glow is feint to the eyes of men
oh slumbering giant, sixth from our star
your past is feint to the minds of men
oh deposed ruler, so long since your rule
your son sits bright in the hearts of gods
once mighty king, bringer of the golden age
no age shall be so great in the folly of men
postquam saturno tenebrosa in tartara misso
sub iove mundus erat, subiit argentea proles
auro deterior, fulvo pretiosior aere
(ovid, metamorphoses, bk 1, 115)
(after saturn had been banished to the dark land of death
and the world was under the say of jove, the silver race came in
lower in the scale than gold, but of greater worth than yellow brass)
oh mighty harvester, a god so bountiful
your radiance brought wealth to gods
oh wretched leader, driven mad by prophecy
your children brought war to the realm of gods
oh besieged emperor, your army
were banished to the prison of gods
oh ancient entity, you’ve been usurped
your kingdom is left to the deeds of men
