The Modern Prometheus Lyrics

Her porcelain skin

And hair, white as snow

Her loss of life

A folly of God

I deny finality

Finding refuge

In science

My life's discovery, profound

To change the course of human history

I have concocted a brilliant solution

To resurrect the dead and bring

Them back to life

Like fire from the gods

I shall grant this gift unto our ghosts

Assembled piece by piece

She is perfection

Skin like polished glass, locks of ivory

Man-made goddess

Her body lifeless, a graceful host

Though her blood flows naught

I douse her corpse in my elixr of the gods

My creation, to spite our mortal curse

Reversing death, forever embracing light

Incessant life, eternally denying dark

Behold, the perfect human being

Unable, unwilling, to ever leave this world

This fire I've stolen

Will ignite the world

The Modern Prometheus

I lift the veil

And revile at her sight

A lorid, putrid creature

Sloughing skin and whitened eyes

A hideous sight, not meant for mortal eyes

How can this be? Such gross miscalculation

The flame extinguished, the void consumes my world

Cold dead blood flows through her veins

I have afflicted a scourge to this world

I fear a blackened sun

Pandora's box unlocked

Walking dead, drooling alkaline

Her organs pulsating, her violet skin is shaking

I embark along the roaring raging sea

With my elixr

Doomed to the fog of time

On death's precipice, the sea roars

Crashing waves spawn me unto Neptune's maw

My will to live

I fear finality

I quench accursed thirst

Refuge in science

The Modern Prometheus

I am burned by the fire from the gods

Along the rocks of the eternal shore

Carrion peck my eyes, consume my searing flesh

Forever lost in darkness and distance
