The Modern Prometheus Lyrics - Singles - Morgue Orgy

A MASS OF ORGANS AND LIMBS 

FROM DISSECTING ROOMS TO THE CHARNEL HOUSE 

TRANSLUCENT YELLOWISH SKIN 

WHICH BARELY CONCEALS THE MUSCLES AND VEINS 

FROM ARDUOUS NIGHTS ALONE IN THE LAB 

PIECING THE PUZZLE OF THE PRODIGIOUS MAN 

THE BEAUTY OF HIS DREAM DESTROYED 

AS A BREATHLESS HORROR FILLS HIS LUNGS 

ONLY THE BLIND CANT SEE 

THIS ACCURSED UGLINESS THAT YOU HAVE BESTOWED UPON ME 

THE ADAM OF YOUR LABOURS 

OF WHICH MY FATHER YOU DREAD TO FACE 

THROUGH MISUNDERSTANDING AND PREJUDICE SCORNED 

I AVERT THIS MALIGNANT RACE 

AIMING FAR BEYOND 

THE BOUNDARIES OF ACHIEVEMENTS CAPABLE 

I AM GOD REBORN 

I MUST DESTROY THE FIEND 

BEFORE I BECOME THE MONSTER 

THROUGH THE EYES OF SOCIETY 

A WOULD BE MARVEL FAILED 

PROLONGED MY TENURE OF EMPTINESS 

ACCEPTED I WILL NEVER BE 

NIGHTMARES RE-OCCURING 

OF GRAVE ROBBING 

DISMEMBERING THE BODIES OF KILLERS AND THIEVES 

BUT A VISION MORE TERRIFYING SUPERCEDES 

ONE OF OVER AMBITION AND GREED 

THE EXPANSION OF THE MODERN MAN 

ONLY I CAN SEE 

WHAT A FAILURE I HAVE COME TO BE 

THE ADAM OF MY LABOURS 

OF WHICH MY SON I SO DESPISE 

THROUGH PURE GREED AND OBSESSION SPAWNED 

DUST TO DUST WE MUST BOTH DIE 

AIMING FAR BEYOND 

THE BOUNDARIES OF ACHIEVEMENTS CAPABLE 

I AM GOD REBORN 

THE MODERN PROMETHEUS 

AS PHAETON BUT WITHOUT ZEUS NEMESIS 

TO STEAL THE LIGHT FROM A FORBIDDEN SKY 

DRAW DOWN THE SUN TO SET THE WORLD A FLAME 

A SECRET TO PROCLAIM 

FLIP THE SWITCH 

SAY GOODBYE MY SON 

FLIP THE SWITCH 

ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST
