lirik lagu promethean - the plague
my name is aeacus
sovereign of the city of aegina
son of zeus’s adultery
my state is doomed by hera’s scourge
many suns have risen
since the overwhelming mist appeared
four times the moon rose
four times the wind didn’t blew
campaings were the first
to be decimated by the miasmas
exhaling it each time closer to us
aegina was besieged by disease
now it has penetrated our doors
and seized the whole city
everywhere the eyes land
everywhere is the desolation
none has hope for salvation
half dead citizens wander in the streets
the arms outstretched to the vault of the sky
shouting prayers that remain unheard
and here i remain
despising this life
eager to share the fate
of my fellow men
everywhere one can see piles of cadavers
marked with the seal
the seal of the disease
the one which putrefies the insides
the one which decimates entire families
see the temple of the great zeus
how many sacrifices
were made there?
how many times the father died
praying hopelessly at
the feet of the altar?
i saw scattered bodies on the sacred threshold
cadavers lie unburied
many are burnt at the same time
on the funeral pyre
with n0body to cry their ashes
my people have been cruelly slaughtered
as i pray stricken by so much pain
the thunder struck as an omen
