Bilingual
In golden halls I walked with pride
Among the gods, by their side
A mortal king with wealth untold
But darkness made my heart grow cold
What secrets do they hide from me?
Can gods see all reality?
I forged a plan of cursed sin
To test what lies within
Waters flee from thirsting lips
Fruit that mocks my fingertips
Cursed to hunger, cursed to yearn
Never shall I return
Feast of the unfed
Price upon my head
Tartarus my home
Forever alone
The blade fell swift upon my son
The deed of darkness had begun
I carved the flesh, I made the stew
To serve the gods what they never knew
But wisdom sees through every lie
Divine eyes pierce the mortal sky
All turned away except for one
What have I done?
Waters flee from thirsting lips
Fruit that mocks my fingertips
Cursed to hunger, cursed to yearn
Never shall I return
Feast of the unfed
Price upon my head
Tartarus my home
Forever alone
Demeter grieved for daughter lost
She tasted flesh, paid the cost
My son restored with ivory bone
But I must face my sins alone
The sacred bond I chose to break
For knowledge that I thought to take
A father's love I sacrificed
Now pay the price
Waters flee from thirsting lips
Fruit that mocks my fingertips
Cursed to hunger, cursed to yearn
Never shall I return
Feast of the unfed
Price upon my head
Tartarus my home
Forever alone
The boulder hangs above my crown
A weight that never falls down
Like conscience that will never fade
For choices that I've made
Hubris led me to this fate
Divine justice will not wait
Waters flee from thirsting lips
Fruit that mocks my fingertips
Cursed to hunger, cursed to yearn
Never shall I return
Feast of the unfed
Price upon my head
Tartarus my home
Forever alone
In golden halls I walked with pride
Now in darkness I reside
The feast of the unfed
My soul is dead
