Oh Athena, beauty of the skies, To whom a thousand temples rise, Man's gone too far, with the choices he's made, So please have mercy, please come to my aid. Night after night, spent praying to thee, How can I make you take pity on me. Look from Olympus, gaze at the fires, And give me all that my heart desires. Though now he freezes, man soon shall burn, (soon shall burn) And be your victim in his turn, (in his turn) Though now he freezes, man soon shall burn. (soon shall burn)

I see your face bears the brands, Knowledge found in foreign lands, Engraved by Orpheus' pen, Into the bodies of men. Like sons of Cronus whose sway, The elements all obey. I feel the power in you, And I believe that it's true. Worship the Wayfarer, Worship the Wayfarers. I trust in all that you've seen, The golden Crocus that gleams. Together we build our shrine, Connecting with our divine. Safe from sun, storm and shower, By your protecting power. I beg you make me your slave, I give my life 'til the grave. Worship the Wayfarer, Worship the Wayfarer. Worship the Wayfarer, Worship the Wayfarers. In service so young, but in intentions so wise, The vessel of the gods ascends the burning sky Bound by duty's burden, to lift up the sun, It brings to pass a presence that just can't be undone.

I'm so sick of this fucking hell, We tried so hard at times but you could never tell, I gave myself just one meaningless wish, That you would never ever end up like this. The life you once took from me, Has been erased so that no one can see, There's only so much more shit I can take, Now all I want is for your neck to break. But you sank away x4 Sank away like the tribute and truth, With my respect and all admiration too, I gave myself just one meaningless wish, That you would never ever end up like this. The life you once took from me, Has been erased so that no one can see, There's only so much more shit I can take, Now all I want is for your neck to break. The last time I saw you, I couldn't see your face. The rain, wind and fog all distorted Castle Place. The puddles in the driveway, rolled on down the mound, then settled in the garden and slowly sank into the ground. I'm made from the blood of this country, My dirt mixes with the shit on the streets, I've finally realised that you're all the same, And it makes me so sick I can barely sleep

I'll never look past. Before I was stuck, I had no one to turn to, Lost by myself and all my bridges were burned, I thought of myself as a hopeless tragedy. Twenty years old and my world fell down, I looked for escapes but there was none around, I made a mistake, it was clear for me to see. But you, you made the pain go away, The strife that once filled me every day, I'd never felt strength like when I looked you in the eye. Oh, I'll never look past, (never look past) the help that you gave me, Your outstretched arms lifted the weight off my soul, (weight off my soul) I then found the courage to set myself free. So as long as you want me, (long as you want me) I'll always be here, I promise, I swear, I'll wipe away your tears, (wipe away your tears) Because you gave me the courage to set myself free. I found the courage to set myself free, It was the courage you gave to me. I found the courage to set myself free, It was the courage you gave to me. So as long as you want me I'll always be here, I promise, I swear, I'll wipe away your tears, Because you gave me the courage to set myself free. Because you, you made the pain go away, The strife that once filled me every day, I've still never felt strength like when I look you in the eyes.

I lost my hope along the way, I doubt I'll ever find it again, Always believe what the gods will say, The blackest sin is found in the hearts of men. Throughout the struggle and into the light, The realisation is becoming the truth, My seven labours break the endless night, And proof to all that I am stronger than you. Cas I'm physically disabled and I'm mentally fucked, And, oh Lord I can’t believe my luck. Cas I'm stuck like this, and I don't know why, So it's gallow's humour 'til the day I die. How can one little thing cause so much hate, The darnkness of thought, it tempts the sisters of fate. And the only thing I know is you're a fucking disgrace, Forcing weak-of-mind to stare death in the face. I lost my hope along the way, I doubt I'll ever find it again, Always believe what the gods will say, The blackest sin is found in the hearts of men. Throughout the struggle and into the light, The realisation is becoming the truth, My seven labours break the endless night, And proof to all that I am stronger than you. The fires will engulf you, you pathetic piece of shit, Your lies shall all be punished, as you're dragged into the pit. The keepers of the underworld, will muffle all your cries, I'll be the one to laugh aloud, when all alone you die.

The greatest beauty, man's ever seen, tainted by the god of ghosts and dreams. The pomegranate, her sentence is sealed. (Oh lord, why he?) Why won't you listen, why can't you see? (A true liar, a real thief,) Crushing your spirit and testing your belief. The dark lord's servant, what can it mean? take to your throne, my infernal queen. This is your life, for eternity. Crushing your spirit and testing your belief. Why won't you listen, why can't you see? Crushing your spirit and testing belief. Where has she gone, what can it mean? Taken by Hades, Persephone. Cas you can see it in his eyes and his face. The greatest beauty, man's ever seen, tainted by the god of ghosts and dreams. The pomegranate, her sentence is sealed. Oh lord, why he? A true liar, a real thief. (Oh lord, why he?) Why won't you listen, why can't you see? (A true liar, a real thief,) Crushing your spirit and testing belief. He was trapped in a nightmare, alone in the darkness. He took the devil's hand, and never felt so heartless. But then he saw her true form, and her words weren't clean and pure, Although life's not full of riches, he's the power to endure. You can see it in his eyes, and see it in his face, You can his heart can beat now that it's free from her embrace. 'Cause when he saw her true form, and her words weren't clean and pure, Although life's not full of riches, he's the power to endure. The power to endure, Persephone, The power to set you free.
