Destiny

Fallen Angels building a ladder
Rungs tied on with tears and blood splatter
Singing while working a Siren’s song
Pulling the innocent from right and wrong

Cerberus is nipping at their heals to move the herd
Hela wants to sing, but forgot the words
Medusa’s cracking a whip to speed things up
Sisyphus has depression and he’s in a rut

Persephone lied with Prometheus to create a spark
Hades found out and Prometheus was caught
Body splayed and strapped to a rock
As I IS ME the vulture tears at his heart

Gabriel is on horns, and Peter is on harps
Lines are drawn, the battle is ready to start
Mankind is cowering, crawling back into the dark
Cronus has just crushed Pandora’s box

Thor and Loki are throwing fire
Odin’s asleep and ready to retire
Titans and gods battling to the death
Castor and Pollux are now bereft

But there is something oozing from that box on the ground
Mankind sees it and gives his drums a pound
Spirits start soaring, souls arise
Let’s run out and get it, Hope’s alive

Body all broken, war torn
Nearly forgotten, dam near gone
But the rhythm of the beat revitalized Hope
Along with man, they both bounce off of the ropes

They take to the battlefield a superior force
Hope an everlasting shield, an eternal torch
Blazing so bright it lights the caverns of man’s being
The likes of which the Titans had never seen

The Gods could feel their energies being drain
They could barely flee with what remained
With bodies trampled, and skulls caved in
Mercury,  himself, had to catch the wind

There were a few stragglers, the all knowing
Trying to convince man that his fangs were showing
But ran from the battlefield, and forced to hide out
Man took control of everything, and then snuffed hope out
