Ovid's Withering : The Cloud Gatherer

Las palabras
1. THE OMEN OF LYCAON
Upon the shores of the Aegean sea
A wilted King is brought to madness
And with great delerium
He vows to reveal an enigma begot by the gods
"You are defying an oath. I will see you brought down from your place in this world.
You will fall from the throne.
I am God. I will not be forgotten."
Nigh, In the darkness of night, a sudden noise awakens Nyctimus from his slumber
In terror, he watches the blade as it parts him again and again
Devoured by doctrine, he's murdered his son and his name is forever bemired
So it is done.. his lips slowly pursed in a smile
His plan was unbroken; perfection; unthinkable
"What have I done? Deserting my beloved son... A vital accord."
Approaching his haven enveloped in blood..he places the offering before him
The Cloud Gatherer turned in disgust
The Omen of Lycaon
'What say you now? You stand before the judgement of all this is boundless.
Admit transgression amidst imperial eyes!
You thought it absolute; your design to rid of us all..
There is no place for you, cursed Arcadian.
Lycaon threatens to beset my honor. In turn, I've slaughtered his 50 sons..
And as a fetid remnant of society, he's gifted with promise of suffering.'
(Lycaon)-You will be proved as a mortal. Can't you see that I am forever entwined?
(Zeus)- Plead benevolence! For the one who is damned is he who commits heresy!
(Lycaon)-I am Lycaon, King of Arcadia, and you are my martyr.
(Zeus)-Blasphemous conspirator! You are lost in the circle of genocide.
'What say you now? You stand before the judgement of all this is boundless
Admit transgression amidst imperial eyes
You thought it absolute; your design to rid of us all
There is no place for you, wretched Arcadian scum'
As he turned in contempt..his limbs altered suddenly
His skin anon crawled into form
His bones melt like glass in this nocturnal forge
'You will embody the truth for eternity.'
2. OEDIPUS COMPLEX
Beautiful moonlit skies are torn asunder, and the king is pulled from sleep.
As the rain wildly stabs the earth, his servants storm the room
His eyes widen as he's revealed the truth.
Grave divinity subsides and he is struck with fear
'Mi'lord, the Gods have turned against you! Oedipus has gone mad! Laius..he comes for the throne.'
"He dares declare war on his own?..After all that I've done..Oh, God, he wouldn't.. "
"What is this I see? Your eyes look upon me in disbelief.
I will but honor you, father, by bathing in your blood..
I've waited ages for this day
You're but a stain upon my blade
A wasted breath, not fit to be a sire
Tsk, tsk..you take far too long to die
I've waited and waited..and finally I'm putting an end to this."
He jumped at the chance to seize his heirloom: The Kingdom of Thebes
Blessed by the passage of his lineage
"You cower in the shadow as you cling to your life evermore;
Now I will rip out your heart
Mother!
I loved you
I am down on my knees
I beg you just take me away from this place
Its all your fault
I am begging you please
Just take me instead, take me in her place"
Beautiful moonlit skies are torn asunder, and the king is forced to weep.
As the knife wildly stabs his face, he ponders certain doom
His eyes were flooded as he fell to the floor
He writhed in agony..without her solace, he can not survive
"Oh, why have you taken my wife?"
"Finally, I see.. My eyes are drowned in disbelief.
I did but honor you, father, by bathing in your blood..
I have given everything...and its over now
You were a stain upon my blade..
Oh how I'd forgotten..the power I'd have..control of a shattered dominion!"
But disgraced by his heritage..no longer with reason to live..
"I will end this now."
The dagger paints a portrait of respite 'cross his throat
A waterfall of red
The only way to halt his suffering
"At last...I've won my friend..you fell for it..you fell..."
3. PANIKON DEIMA
Upon the shores of the Aegean sea
