Prometheus


Erkenne die Menschen
Ihr Geist ist erfroren
Gezwungen zu leben in ewiger Nacht
Erhöre ihr Klagen
Ihr Feind ist die Kälte
Verdammt zu warten in ewiger Wacht

Im Schweif des Kometen
Vor nachtschwarzen Wolken
Steige ich brennend vom Himmel herab
Die Hand hält das Feuer
Mein Geist die Erkenntnis
Trage ich der Götter Gebote zu Grab

Ich bringe euch Feuer
Die Kraft zu erkennen
Ich bringe euch Feuer
Den Zorn der Götter auf die Welt

Ich bringe euch Feuer
Die Macht zu verbrennen
Ich bringe euch Feuer
Und Asche, die vom Himmel fällt

Erkennen heißt Freiheit
Sich selbst zu entscheiden
Kein Schicksal ist von den
Göttern erdacht
Den Geist zu entflammen
Die Saat der Erkenntnis
Hat aus den Menschen selbst
Götter gemacht

Mein Werk ist verrichtet
Die Grenze gefallen
Unwissenheit ein gebrochener Fluch
Meine Strafe jedoch
Wird unfassbar erscheinen
Wie ein von Göttern
geschriebenes Buch

Geschmiedet in Eisen
An Berge gekettet
Von Göttern verdammt
Von niemand gerettet
Mein ewiger Leib
Dem Adler ein Mahl
Die ewige Strafe im Kaukasus Tal

Ich bringe euch Feuer
Die Kraft zu erkennen
Ich bringe euch Feuer
Ein Lodern, das die Nacht erhellt

Ich bringe euch Feuer
Die Macht zu verbrennen
Ich bringe euch Feuer
Und Asche, die vom Himmel fällt

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics PROMETHEUS of SALTATIO MORTIS is also present in the album Aus der asche (2007)
