[Intro]
To vlépeis?
To vlépo…
[Verse 1]
See the Python
Come out the earth with its eyes on
The Legend of Apollo
Polluting truth, soothsayers and youth
And so, ever do I follow
After that snake, for in its wake
It lays to waste all wicked ways
And aims to prey on those who praise
My holy name, but I keep my people
With the weapon of Hephaestus
I will slay all they who molest us
I will chase the enemy relentlessly
And for Leto have my vengeance
From thе holy mountain's hollow
On Olympus all the gods know
This is my Iliad
'Till I've finished it
Homеr is telling them Apollo
Is the one on every steeple
Every shrine that you could find
Every one of them is mine
By the shout of "híe paî!"
Call me "averter of evil" (Alexíkakos)
Coz I'm 'bout to be battling
The black beast with a bow
And I punish it
Putting a bright bolt in its skull
[Verse 2]
All beats and bones, I leave obliterated
Watch this wide-eyed and pupils dilated
Capture the light my Sol is eminating
All fight, no flight; I'm living dedicated
More than you could ever have anticipated
Make songs my arms, you know I'm innovative
Shoot true: calibrated, so I cannot be debated
Yeah, see the signs in the skies I indicated
Captivating pagan gods and the population
Send a plague and
Save the rap game that I'm playing
Reanimate ya by the way this
Elevates your vision
When I rise in the horizon
You'll find me levitating, fire-spitting
Illuminating mind and eye
By my premeditated 1st-degree
Murder of the beat (Yagh!)
I'm "Aelios", I'm the "Sun"
Because of me you see
Even in the dead of night
The moon Selene's reflecting me
I speak the gods' minds
I gave philosophy to Socrates
An Odyssey is calling me
To make my music with muses
And mold my mythology
[Interlude]
You hear my oracles
And you wonder what they mean
Arise from Plato's Cave
Awake, it's plain to see
Repeats each era
Every people, each prophecy
You see the Chosen One
It's me!
[Bridge]
Yeah
All myth as my witness, I am
The Phoebus, come see this
Inscription of my hands
Yeah, an aegis, yeah
In pictures, stone figures
And scriptures and whispers, I am
Ey, the pillar that could bring ya
Night and day, health and plague
Peace and pain
Over Styx and Hades to a promised land
[Interlude]
To this end was I born
This is not something to ignore
[Verse 3]
Of my ballads, beware
My lyres will make you aware
Of guilt that'll kill, it fills ya with fear
It damns each man, but it cannot compare
To my light's blinding glare
Which purifies and bares
Each mortal and purges
All scourges who have ever dared
To threaten the Isles of the Blessed
Of the west in which I'll be setting
So all of Hellas, listen and say your prayers
And have your paeans sung
This is Elysium
Prepare for the era of Apollo
My Kingdom come!
[Verse 4]
All that's done I have done
And shall come
Though thy eyes, they shall die
And succumb back to dust
So die under the Sun?
Or rise up with the Sun?
Henosis with The One
I'm above flesh and blood
It's the eîdos of Plato
The Good that's unchangeable
Ascend into aether
On wings of the angels
Not the hubris of Icarus
He who flew too close to me
Come witness omnipotence
Incarnate in poetry
My Logos is truth, yeah, it's liberating
Like the Eye of the Pantheon, I'm illuminating
The mind of the divines
From Delphi and Sinai
I enlighten mankind with
The wisdom of the ancients
Until I'm satiated
Until the game has came and gone
And every nation's made it home
To Fields that I created
This god has not forsaken
My rhymes are never vacant
I do it all verbatim
This world is for my taking
[Verse 5]
This world be forged in gold
As Delos in holy flames
Before the peace, a sword
With the sheep be wolves and fangs
Foretold in gore and stories
This glory shall not fade
This world won't be the same
This is my fate
[Outro]
Ego eimi…
