On To Iliad - 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.

Sitting on the sands of foreign shores What will it take to make you see the light Yesterday's patronizing tears To prove the gods, wrong or right The road to ancient prophecies is long When will everybody sing your song Fearful foes emerging from the past We're marching on to Iliad at last See the battles strewn upon the floor Hear the cries of victory and pain Twice this day your future lies ahead Painful suffering amidst a gain Priam's cities sees it's heroes fall Into your hands, what does this mean Egos surging like a demon spawned Mind engulfed in a fog-crested dream
