Prometheus Still Burns (Epic Version) – DoctorViper Lyrics
Fire! It didn't ask permission
Fire! Did we steal it, or did it steal from us?
Stone against stone, the spark was born
Without God, without pity, only a hunger to exist
Orange and terror in hands that still tremble
A piece of the Sun that will never bow
We roast the flesh, we burn the traitor
We melt iron, we melt vows of love
We write hymns on the skin of martyrs
And we burn the books that dared to remind us
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
Fire does not judge
It obeys only the first touch
And the wind that comes to laugh at our illusion
Who holds whom in the infernal dance?
Is it we who walk or is it he who makes us burn?
Prometheus does not sleep
The ember still throbs in humanity's heart!
Prometheus does not sleep
And the last flame cries out
I am not finished yet!
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
We tame it like a river in a rushing current
We believe the banks will hold back its fury
But in the flame's eyes, the question burns alive
Who, after all, is the slave of this captive flame?
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
We dance in a circle singing of civilization
But the fire smiles quietly in the darkness
We are legs, voice, remorse, and a match in our pockets
The way it found to walk through the mad world!
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
Who holds whom in the infernal dance?
Are we the ones who walk, or is it the one who makes us burn?
Prometheus does not sleep
The ember still throbs in humanity's heart!
Prometheus does not sleep
And the last flame cries out
I am not finished yet
When the city falls, when the name turns to dust
When memory is ashes carried away by the wind
Only, will remain
A stubborn ember
Refusing to die
Like someone whispering hoarsely
I haven't finished telling your story yet
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
Fire! Cradle and pyre at the same time
Fire! Home that becomes violent exile
Prometheus doesn't sleep
Doesn't sleep
Doesn't sleep
The last ember cries out to the void
I, haven't, finished yet
And the fire smiles, Because it knows
We were never the owners
We are only, the way it walks
Who holds whom?
