Was the King of Ephyra, my fear was growing
Sprouting grey hairs, looking over my shoulder, I'm older
Escaped death once and I did it again
So they made every day feel like the same, wait
Changed Persephone's perception of me
Climbed up outta hell and went back to the streets
Every time I screamed I worried Hermes could hear me
Feeling pity, thinkin' bout the days they would fear me, so clearly
Damned, condemned, I'd do it over again
Outsmarted the gods, but I still lost in the end, and
They didn't take that too well, had my
Wings clipped like Icarus'
Punished me for my dissidence
Punishment's feeling limitless
Stone rolls, I'm Sisyphus
