The Modern Prometheus Lyrics

A MASS OF ORGANS AND LIMBS
FROM DISSECTING ROOMS TO THE CHARNEL HOUSE
TRANSLUCENT YELLOWISH SKIN
WHICH BARELY CONCEALS THE MUSCLES AND VEINS
FROM ARDUOUS NIGHTS ALONE IN THE LAB
PIECING THE PUZZLE OF THE PRODIGIOUS MAN
THE BEAUTY OF HIS DREAM DESTROYED
AS A BREATHLESS HORROR FILLS HIS LUNGS

ONLY THE BLIND CAN’T SEE
THIS ACCURSED UGLINESS THAT YOU HAVE BESTOWED UPON ME
THE ADAM OF YOUR LABOURS
OF WHICH MY FATHER YOU DREAD TO FACE
THROUGH MISUNDERSTANDING AND PREJUDICE SCORNED
I AVERT THIS MALIGNANT RACE

AIMING FAR BEYOND
THE BOUNDARIES OF ACHIEVEMENTS CAPABLE
I AM GOD REBORN

I MUST DESTROY THE FIEND
BEFORE I BECOME THE MONSTER
THROUGH THE EYES OF SOCIETY
A WOULD BE MARVEL FAILED
PROLONGED MY TENURE OF EMPTINESS
ACCEPTED I WILL NEVER BE
NIGHTMARES RE-OCCURING
OF GRAVE ROBBING
DISMEMBERING THE BODIES OF KILLERS AND THIEVES
BUT A VISION MORE TERRIFYING SUPERCEDES
ONE OF OVER AMBITION AND GREED
THE EXPANSION OF THE MODERN MAN

ONLY I CAN SEE
WHAT A FAILURE I HAVE COME TO BE
THE ADAM OF MY LABOURS
OF WHICH MY SON I SO DESPISE
THROUGH PURE GREED AND OBSESSION SPAWNED
DUST TO DUST WE MUST BOTH DIE

AIMING FAR BEYOND
THE BOUNDARIES OF ACHIEVEMENTS CAPABLE
I AM GOD REBORN

THE MODERN PROMETHEUS

AS PHAETON BUT WITHOUT ZEUS NEMESIS
TO STEAL THE LIGHT FROM A FORBIDDEN SKY
DRAW DOWN THE SUN TO SET THE WORLD A FLAME
A SECRET TO PROCLAIM

FLIP THE SWITCH
SAY GOODBYE MY SON
FLIP THE SWITCH
ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST
