APOLLO (LEGEND)

I gave philosophy to Socrates

An Odyssey is callin' me

To make my music with muses

And mold my mythology

You hear my oracles

And you wonder what they mean

Arise from Plato's Cave

Awake, it's plain to see

Repeats each era

Every people, each prophecy

You see the Chosen One

It's me!

Yeah

All myth as my witness, I am

The Phoebus, come see this

Inscription of my hands

Yeah, an aegis, yeah

In pictures, stone figures

And scriptures and whispers, I am

Ey, the pillar that could bring ya

Night and day, health and plague

Peace and pain over Styx and Hades

To a promised land

To this end was I born

This is not something to ignore

Of my ballads, beware

My lyres will make you aware

Of guilt that'll kill, it fills ya with fear

It damns each man, but it cannot compare

To my light's blinding glare

Which purifies and bares

Each mortal and purges

All the scourges who have ever dared

To threaten the Isles of the Blessed

Of the west in which I'll be settin'

So all of Hellas, listen and say your prayers

And have your paeans sung

This is Elysium

Prepare for the era of Apollo

My Kingdom come!

All that's done I have done

And shall come

Though thy eyes, they shall die

And succumb back to dust

So die under the Sun?

Or rise up with the Sun?

Henosis with The One

I'm above flesh and blood

It's the eîdos of Plato

The Good that's unchangeable

Ascend into aether

On wings of the angels

Not the hubris of Icarus

He who flew too close to me

Come witness omnipotence

Incarnate in poetry

My Logos is truth, yeah, it's liberatin'

Like the Eye of the Pantheon, I'm illuminatin'

The mind of the divines

From Delphi and Sinai

I enlighten mankind with

The wisdom of the ancients

Until I'm satiated

Until the game has came and gone

And every nation's made it home

To Fields that I created

This god has not forsaken

My rhymes are never vacant

I do it all verbatim

This world is for my takin'

This world be forged in gold

As Delos in holy flames

Before the peace, a sword

With the sheep be wolves and fangs

Foretold in gore and stories

This glory shall not fade

This world won't be the same

This is my fate

Ego eimi
