Antithesis - Mad Poet Lyrics
The poet sits and twists the meter 'roundAnd in the glare you'd swear his smile was a frownAnd Hermes there, he stares as the pages growAnd all are left to fend for their ownThere was a time when he was in commandNow it seems that he is quite mad, so sadThere was a time when he was in demandBut now it seems that he is quite madThe Titan took a look with leerAs Cronos split the world with a fearIcarus has flown, he knows he is not aloneAs Aries waits with hate upon his fiery throneDo you now believe it?There he is, the mad poetAnother page like the one beforeLoki tricks his brother ThorAs he turns the metaphorOdin makes the thunder roarThe Incubus doesn't know which way to goThe Succubus entices her weary foeAnd Hera, in her spiteful way, allows Hades to claim the dayWhen he looks at what he has done he throws hie feathered quill awayNo more wine, no more rowdy songsThe bell tolls to claim its pawnWhen does a man begin to live again?When he is just a step away
