about

Megaira feat. Wall Almeida (Aneurose) and Giovanni Norbiatto (Viscera)

Based on the Greek tale of the god Cronos. The song's central story revolves around betrayals. First by Cronus son of Uranus, who betrays his father by castrating him and taking his life force to become the supreme god. To avoid being dethroned Cronos swallows all his sons and because of that he is also betrayed, this time by Rhea, who besides his sister is also his wife, who hides his son Zeus on the island of Crete and gives a stone wrapped in cloths for Cronos instead. Zeus then survives, grows up and returns to face his father and manages to free his brothers and the Cyclops. With their help Cronos wins and becomes the Supreme God of Olympus.

lyrics

NARRATOR
Uranus and Gaia
Ruled in heaven and earth
They had the titans
Born after the cyclops had been thrown into the Tartar
Attached to anvil

URANUS
I am the strongest and control is mine
I won’t be defeated by anyone who tries

GAIA
My sons you must free your brothers
As it has been prophisized
Uranus will be dethroned by the hand of his son
No matter how strong

Your chances are better when sleep arrives
Don’t hesitate or the same fate will fall over you
And nothing can bring you back from the dark

CRONUS
I will rip you
Taking your vital force
I will spread your blood in the immensity

TITANS AND HECATONCHEIRES
Cronus lead us now that tyranny is over
And bring back the peace to each other

CRONUS
I am the strongest and control is mine
I won’t be defeated by anyone who tries

Rhea my sister and wife
Every newborn son
will be devoured by me
I won’t make the same mistake of my father
Who said I would also fall by the hand of my son
I will make everyone go

RHEA
Take our last son Zeus
That I covered in cloth
Because I cannot bear to see you again
Swallow another son

GAIA
Now that Rhea tricked Cronus
Zeus will live in Crete with the Nymphs and Centaurs
In a cave in the forest to fulfill his fate

ZEUS
Do you want to
drink with me?
I came from far away
Drink and feel the pleasure

NARRATOR
And with that drink
Cronus vomited all his sons
Who have joined the storm
That Zeus would create

CRONUS
I am the strongest
I'm ready to fight
I’ll bring back the titans
Titanomachy will start

NARRATOR
The crushed earth mixed with the sky falling down
The wind throws the dust punishing everything around
Thunder lightning and fire fiercely roaring in the air
Weapons that had helped in a war
War of many years

URANUS
I am the strongest and the control is mine
I won’t be defeated by anyone who tries
