Prometheus Rebound

["Be what it is my destiny to be,
 The saviour and strength of suffering man,
 Or sink into the original gulf of things:
 There is no agony, and no solace;
 Earth can console, Heaven can torment me no more."
 - Percy Shelley, Prometheus Unbound
 Prometheus Unbound was the most inspiring of A Hill to Die Upon's lyrics to write.
 After reading though Shelley's Prometheus Unbound and his notes, it seemed necessary to write Prometheus Rebound.
 The change to Rebound comes from the rejection of the popular Byronic opinion that Prometheus is a Satanic mirror image and a symbol of rebellion against 'the gods.'
 The Titan and Nazarene, the immortal and immortal, God and demigod, share more than they contrast.
 It is with clay and blood in which we are made.
 We are the Promethean sons, let us not waste this immortality.]
 No sleep, no dreams, no making mankind's peace
 The furies for company and the rejection of that infinity
 Abomination of my clay brothers...
 We are the mud and filth of this earth
 Of what we can or would become
 This likeness is what we are
 Artist of my clay spirit
 I am the reclaimed fallen son
 Of what we can or would die to see:
 A fire in the hearts of men
 In blackest day of generations
 My end is to end as the dead
 We dead Promethean sons
 End of the dead
 "Titans, Behold your God!"
 Bow before the potter's Son
 My end is to end as the dead
 Promethean child!
 "Titans, Behold you God!"
 He canst become no clearer
 God of all, star inwoven
 He hast love beyond!
 Reaper!
 "Champion of heaven's slaves"
 Oblivion Son
 We canst grieve no more...
 Io! Barest of love
 Oblivion soul
 We canst bare no more...
