The Myth

The Myth

Zeus gave order to gods -

mortal woman to be made from clay...

Pandora was her name.

And they had to give her a spell

instead of a human soul...

And the beauty must be sly,

to enchant and to entice...

To punish people, Zeus sent her,

for the fire they had stolen from Olymp.

High price they had to pay

for the boldness of Prometheus.

chorus: And all the oceans in the universe

won`t be enough to put out the holy

fiery Prometheus` sacrifice.

Hate your chimerical hopes!

Let be holy your souls!

She went to his brother

but he`d forgotten Prometheus` advice -

don`t take presents from gods.

So Epimetheus could not endure

Pandoras` mystical allure.

She brought an urn with evils

unknown for mortals until then.

And all disasters spread out when

Pandoras` curiosity prevailed.

chorus:...

And all the sorrows

conquered the human world.

But scared she closed the urn

and the nastiest evil couldn`t creep.

So explain me how the hope

as the most dangerous of evils

corrodes the human souls ?!

I said - the great wisdom of the faith

will make your dreams eternal.

chorus:...
