Prometheus gave us flame. I.E. technology. We use it to destroy the link we had to it to advance. Maybe self destruction? Verse 3, we are doomed to fall into no free will. We were inevitably bound to do what we believe we had will to, unknowingly unwilling.
[Verse 1]
Listen closely (Listen closely, listen closely)
For the echo (For the echo, for the echo)
Of your genesis (Of your genesis, your genesis, your genesis)
Your inception (Your formation)
Your stigmata from Prometheus (Prometheus, Prometheus, Prometheus)
[Verse 2]
Innuendos (Innuendos, Innuendos)
Tracks and traces (Tracks and traces, tracks and traces)
Ring and replicate (Replicate, replicate)
Like maps and lеgends through and to you, through and to you
Just follow all the way (Follow all the way)
[Chorus]
Bеcome your own Prometheus
Use the flame to burn the tether
From the Overseer
Take the flame to
Burn tenacious (Tenacious)
[Verse 3]
Prime directive (Prime directive)
Violated (Violated, violated)
Still reverberates (Reverberates, reverberates, reverberates)
Puppeteering (Puppeteering)
Every action
Guide your words and ways
[Chorus]
Become your own Prometheus
Use the flame to burn the tether
From the Overseer
Take the flame to burn tenacious (Tenacious)
[Chorus]
Become your own Prometheus
Use the flame to (Use the flame to)
Burn the tether (The tether)
From the Overseer (Seer)
[Outro]
Take
Burn
