Lyrics
We took his gift with gratitude
And used it to secure our niche
But more than this, we
Memorized his punishment
The rock, the chains, the hungry eagle
Skilled as a surgeon, operating
On him without anesthetic
Time and time again
We admire ingenuity
Emulate the cruelty
Of gods whom we
Aspire to become
The gentle warmth of a winter?s fire
Or the raging heat of a heretic?s pyre
Both depend on how you
Use the flame
Be sure to look back
After the fact and
These my words recall
Don?t blame the gods
For not warning ?
You created
Your downfall
Don?t claim surprise
You had clear eyes
When you walked
Into the net
That Fate had
Set for you
Yes, we admire ingenuity
Emulate the cruelty
Of gods whom we
Aspire to become
And when his light revealed too much
We moved our darkness inside
To a place that no amount
Of light could touch
