Saltatio Mortis - Prometheus (Live)

Translation:

See the people.
Their spirit is frozen.
Forced to live
in eternal night.
Listen to their complaints.
Their enemy is the cold.
Damned to wait
in eternal watch.

In the tail of the comets
before clouds black as night
I descend from Heaven, burning.
My hand holds the fire,
my mind the knowledge.
I lay the commandments
of the gods to rest.

I bring you fire
to recognize the power.
I bring you fire
and the wrath of the gods on the world.
I bring you fire,
the power to burn.
I bring you fire
and ashes falling from the sky.

Knowledge means freedom,
to decide for yourself.
No destiny
is conceived by the gods.
The mind to receive
the seed of knowledge
has made gods
out of the people.

My work is done,
the boundaries have fallen.
Ignorance, a broken curse.
My punishment, however,
will appear unfathomable,
like a book
written by gods.

I bring you fire
to recognize the power.
I bring you fire
and the wrath of the gods on the world.
I bring you fire,
the power to burn.
I bring you fire
and ashes falling from the sky.

Forged in steel,
chained to the mountain,
damned by the gods,
saved by no one.
My eternal body
a meal for the eagle.
The eternal punishment
in the Caucasus valley.

I bring you fire
to recognize the power.
I bring you fire,
a flare that lights up the night.
I bring you fire
the power to burn.
I bring you fire
and ashes falling from the sky.

I bring you fire
I bring you fire
I bring you fire
the power to burn.
I bring you fire
and ashes falling from the sky.
