lyrics

From primeval Chaos we came
And my father Uranus came to reign
His madness bore by prophecy
In Tartarus, confined Cyclops and Hecatonchires
Gaia was irate, sickle forged, the method to castrate
I was compelled, strike delivered from pain and trauma knelt
In his defeat, shared a prophecy, I'd die by progeny
My reign won't end…
This prophecy can't come true if my kin are banished and spawn consumed
Campe my appointed guard, Rhea then surrendered, progeny delivered
And on Mount Othrys I'll rule, embodiment of fear, my legacy secured
Poured wine by my cupbearer, fell sick, vomiting out, my progeny immured
Brothers and sisters, you're free
Onward to Olympus to shape our strategy
Father's wrath will bring calamity
Join me and together we'll topple his tyranny
The battle then began, the air burned, cascading combustion
Losing the upper hand, sky cracked and groaned, defeats left me sullen
His reign must end…
Gaia insisted that I free her Tartarus-confined offspring
Their dragon-like jailer Campe dispatched, now her corpse is left rotting
Brothers will you join me in delivering recompense?
Lightning in-hand, army in tow, we march against Othrys
Father, this war will end!
I'm joined by your own kin
So, you've support of dimwits?
We will bring your demise
Unlikely, just a waste of time
This is the beginning of your end
Enough! You'll be eradicated! Die!
This war is finally over, and my foes must be dispensed with
Atlas you'll hold up the heavens
Titans to Tartarus to be imprisoned
To my brothers the underworld and sea
That leaves the sky and everything beneath it to me...
