The Promethean Song

""A child will look up in the sky Ask guidance from the sun And directions from the moon Counsel from the mighty ones Hiding beyond the stars Far above this earth No redemption from the skies No response up from heavens No relief will ever come From beyond this realm For the spirits in their halls Will turn away their glance Hearken to the songs of the stars Consider the weight of time Ponder over the spheres Watch how the firmament turns To place your trust in them Is like leaving in the dark Like letting the gale take you where it may Ward off your fears Break your harness Forge your own fate Rebuild yourself""
