Lyrics
The Promethean Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A child will look up in the sky
Ask guidance from the sun
And directions from the moon
Counsel from the mighty ones
Hiding beyond the stars
Far above this earth
No redemption from the skies
No response up from heavens
No relief will ever come
From beyond this realm
For the spirits in their halls
Will turn away their glance
Hearken to the songs of the stars
Consider the weight of time
Ponder over the spheres
Watch how the firmament turns
To place your trust in them
Is like leaving in the dark
Like letting the gale take you where it may
Ward off your fears
Break your harness
Forge your own fate
Rebuild yourself
