A song based on the mythologic legend of Prometheus's present to mankind: the fire. And its consequences...
Lyrics
Gift of Prometheus
(Music by Fabiano F./Words by André)
Come closer... don't you know me?
I'm the one you fear but follow
someone you might really know who
I am someone you see so dark
without perceiving all truths and lies
(trapped in a weak vessel and mind)
A shinning angel I once was
I shared titles and glories
'til one day something happened
and an inner-voice whispered into me
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I've started a giant war
Such things you may never understand
but that's not why I came to talk
so, stay calm and listen with care:
In this world you can be in my evil hands
being a puppet of your own decays
or you can be far from my sign
being a sheep, servant and blind
But wait, there's also another way,
you can be free to find your own path
You just have to understand
the dilemma about a legendary tale
Fire is knowledge, that's the key
Set it all in flames
Knowledge is fire, as blessed as cursed
Turn on your own light
Once upon an ancient time
there was a brilliant man of your kind
He stole the Primal Fire
from the Gods and became free
unbound his power and his will
to laugh even about the Destiny itself
Fire is knowledge, incostant and dangerous
It brightens deep in mind
Knowledge is fire, the gift of Prometheus
... and also a gift of mine.
He knew it was a dangerous way to keep
just following his heart
and even punished to suffer forever
inside his soul smiled, 'cause it had wings
He turned on the light that anyone has
and unmasked real untold
Don't you think wrong things about it, and me...
Flames mean not pain or dread
Very crisp and dynamic
