Olympus Defeated
I've watched the Gods fall
Through the eyes of Atlas;
Let the Heavens tumble from
My shoulders, knowing
They're meaningless now.
Mount Olympus will crumble
To sand, to ash, to desolation
And the mortals' sacrifices
Are for prayers that fall on
The deaf ears of a mortal Zeus.
Through the eyes of Atlas;
Let the Heavens tumble from
My shoulders, knowing
They're meaningless now.
Mount Olympus will crumble
To sand, to ash, to desolation
And the mortals' sacrifices
Are for prayers that fall on
The deaf ears of a mortal Zeus.
