Like Father, Like Son

from Diomedes by Stop the Monster

lyrics

On the Earth the Titans walked,
The first twelve children of the first Gods,
Wronged by a father paranoid of being dethroned,
Their mother hatched a plan,
Gave the youngest means to end an unjust imprisonment,

From his blood came the Fates,
From his essence the sea gave birth to Aphrodites,

The three oracles of the world arose to judge the ways of all on Earth,
As another father took the throne,
The same fears he prevented came into his mind,

He swallowed all his children as they were born,
Lest they discover power and take him on,
But Rhea pleaded mercy and leads him on,
And Zeus was taken care of, the final son,

Gained the strength to overthrow his father,
Raised by nymphs atop a mountain he came into his own,
When Kronus thought him swallowed whole,
Tricked by Rhea who took a stone wrapped up in cloth,

He dethroned his own father,

On the Earth the Titans walked,
Freed by their newest leader,
On Mount Olympus sat his throne as he watched over,
The other Gods sat by his side expressing human nature,
In its complete, imperfect, form,
They became an order,

Strength and fear, unfaithfulness and love,
Admiration, anger, jealousy and joy,
Unmatched beauty.
