LYRICS
LUKE:
Please consider
An alternate way of thinking
Where we control our fate
Loving parents
Don’t scar their kids and lie
Or send them off to die
Voices in my dreams tell me
It’s not as it seems
These quests seem innocent
Do you think that’s their intent?
Whose puppet are we becoming by
Doing every little thing they
Ask us to make sacrifices
Leaving them to their devices?
What have we become
Just let the gods send us to run
We’re something to them, right
Little pawns to flex their might
Now I hear a voice inside my head
Who says the gods ought to be dead
And that he can spare you and me
From this so-called prophecy
These are the musings
Of a backbiter
Who disguised and deceived
Like his artful father
This is the story
Of a backbiter
Who was tortured and used
Like his cursed mother
With this
I’m breaking my promise
But this future’s so much brighter
Brought to you by a backbiter
Now don’t give me that face
This is for the human race
You have that knife because you’re smart
Not driven by misguided heart
Don't we deserve the truth?
Grover, I’m looking at you
The gods forced you to lie to him
Your own best friend, for innocence
And you, new kid, come with me!
There’s so much more for you to see
Than what the gods present to you
Once their parents are risen, too!
Lower all your weapons kids
I know you’re so confused amid
A whirlwind of new ages
Where we take all the center stages!
These are the musings
Of a backbiter
Who disguised and deceived
Like his artful father
This is the story
Of a backbiter
Who was tortured and used
Like his cursed mother
With this
I’m breaking my promise
But this future’s so much brighter
Never trust a backbiter
CHORUS
LUK
These are the musings
Of a backbiter
Who disguised and decieved
Like his artful father
This this the story
Of a backbiter
who was tortured and used
like his cursed mother
KRONOS (x3):
Demigods out of my way
Kronos is alive today
Cannot run nor hide nor pray
Time for Olympus to pay
LUKE:
With this
I’m breaking my promise
But this future’s so much brighter
Never trust a backbiter
KRONOS:
Swallow you whole in one bite
Kronos lives again to fight
LUKE:
Don’t act surprised
it’s in your eyes
You know it’s true
Your parents don’t love you
(KRONOS: The gods are not fit to rule)
