Lyrics:

All that is seen or seemed
Is but a dream within a dream

Our Promethean Conquest!
Within a moment of regress, we push forward ever wanting.
Convoluting our conscience in the name of mental progress.
A flame from the titan’s hand ignited the spark to their creation.
Made humans understand the truth behind their aspirations.

Shackles!
Chains!
Internal it remains.

Until we all ascend from our introversion,
We’re left here to defend the status of our ignorance.

And still we all depend on our extroversion.
We're left here to pretend we can control our decadence.

Upon the rock you're stretched,
Treacherous as time's new guest.
What did one thieve to be tortured by he?
The fire was conceived,
But not perceived to be
What drives humankind!

And from his wit and intellect,
Our self-bound struggle will reflect
In the search for something new, chaos subdued.

Dawn of discovery!
Bred wonder and atrocity.

And only time will affirm us
Against the crime of our false trust
And hunger of consciousness.

Prometheus, you've torched us all.
Torrefied by his inferno, we'll evolve.

after looking trough the lyrics over & over again. is this supposed to be a metal-telling of the story of Prometheus. As in the lyric's it sates various clues pointing to It, such as Dawn of Discovery, referring to him giving the gift of knowledge to mankind.as well as mentioning shackles and chains referring to Zeus binding him to a rock and ill state one more. ere is also the lyric saying What did one thieve to be tortured by he? which is referring to Prometheus being pecked to death eternally by birds. hope im right on this, and if im not. then then tats embarrassing. but this piece of music is really great, I can tell you worked hard on it. this is really great and good work. keep doing what you're doing.

I really like the Song. Especially the middle to the end. But for me it takes to long to get the whole thing going at the beginning. Nearly one minute for electronic stuff. I don't mind electronic elements in metal songs but as an into which makes me think the song could be Drumstep or Dubstep too.
(This is my personal opinion and there are probably many guys who like this stuff^^)
But anyway thanks for that song. I like it :)

AudioLion responds:

Thanks, we debated splitting the electronic elements in to another track but the song seemed to flow better as one song. Thanks for hanging in there to check out the metal too!
