Ground Zero (Reprise) - Lyrics - Hades
Hades was the ancient Greek god of the underworld. Eventually, the god's name came to designate the abode of the dead. In Greek mythology, Hades is the oldest male child of Cronus and Rhea considering the order of birth from the mother, or the youngest, considering the regurgitation by the father. The latter view is attested in Poseidon's speech in the Iliad. According to myth, he and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and claimed rulership over the cosmos, ruling the underworld, air, and sea, respectively; the solid earth, long the province of Gaia, was available to all three concurrently.
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
It's a shame really, that humankind cannot advance
On social and civil levels as a single race
With the same rampant and voracious growth of its technology.
We can create some of the most awe inspiring machines,
But we're so naive in other ways that we may well wind up
Victims of our own knowledge one day.
That's the downside. The upside? Overpopulation problem solved.
The Downside
