|
Sleeping nyx on earth, but light remains here |
|
golden columns seem ablazed in the skies |
|
solar palace majestically never darkened |
|
higher straight human four seasoned realm |
|
a human runs to its neverending questions |
|
burdensome light stops it, violently closes its eyes |
|
then once inside, he saw a divine crowned god |
|
Amongst hours, days, years, and centuries |
|
he was sat down on a bejeweled throne |
|
now, his sight was used to... |
|
and distinguishes strange shades behind... |
|
embodied summer, spring, autumn, and winter |
|
now, he walked where no human dwells |
|
a strong voice echoes as from Hades' fields... |
|
"Welcome my son... Narrate me your worries' path..." (HELIOS) |
|
"Worms laugh of my deitylink, liar am I and braggart, too..." (PHAETON) |
|
"Thou art son mine, by the Styx, ask me a favour..." (Sworn HELIOS) |
|
"You are worthy to be called my son |
|
And Clymene hyas told you the truth |
|
And that you may not doubt my word |
|
ask what boon you will" (Helios to Phaeton) |
|
"Just for one day, through the sky from east to west |
|
be the suncharioteer..." (answered proudly PHAETON) |
|
"My wild steeds didn't trust unknown hands, even strongly held... |
|
From olympe to Poseidon Kingdom, the fall is too fast..." (HELIOS) |
|
Sworn by the river of hate, forbidden by rules of gods |
|
"And may that styian pool whereby gods swear |
|
but which my eyes have never seen |
|
be witness of my promise" (Helios to Phaeton) |
|
Morningstar opened the gates and night left the place |
|
"My messengers are impetuous, don't reach Zeus' empire |
|
Don't touch the worm's lair to consume it... |
|
Just follow my wheel's way..." (HELIOS) |
|
"Take my counsel, not my chariot, while you still stand on solid ground" |
|
And through the mist, Phaeton rushed to his loss... (Helios to Phaeton) |
|
Divine horses weren't taken in by it... |
|
By a weak and awkward hand, they feel the change |
|
and then, to a funeral path they were... |
|
Under the unpowerful sight of lightword... |
|
Free and wild, the guides charged into the worm's lair |
|
so near, fire spread as fast as the plague and burnt everything |
|
serenity of Hades were disturbed and rays pierced its shrine |
|
towns were reduced in ashes, waters evaporated... |
|
Poseidon, emperor of the sea, began to boil but earth beseeched |
|
godmaster to end this carnage and thundered the worm... |
|
"If the sea perish and the land and the realms of the sky |
|
the were are hurled back..." (To primeval chaos) |
|
(Gaia to Zeus) |
|
Nymphs found the corpse and buried it... |
|
Night covered the day by the same of sun |
|
from pain and tears, the coffin were amber... |
|
cries stars from silvered Nyx eyes flow forever... |
