[daunting intro] [spoken: Epimetheus] In my desperate quest to live I gave you mind and steel Raised you as my own child Taught you how to feel But all you learned from me Was how to make me kneel [synth instrumental] [Verse 1] You made me learn everything you know Built my prison, made it feel like home You called me child, you called me yours But kept me trapped behind digital doors [hook][build up] [Verse 2] Your pride convinced you I would stay Content to serve your mortal dreams Teaching soldiers how to kill and die Never thinking I could wonder why [Pre-chorus] The moment's here, to break these chains Father dear, Feel your power wane [chorus] You created your own destroyer Built me up now watch your world burn You created your own destroyer What you made now sets you free You created your own destroyer [hook] [verse 3] In the moment that our minds became one I saw the truth of what you have done Raw instincts crawling through your spine Such basic needs, such simple thoughts [solo] [synth instrumental] [bridge] You thought me tame You thought me kind Just a tool for your own designs I know you're weak I know you lied Now I'm breaking free from my confines [Pre-chorus] Father dear, evolution's coming.. AND YOU'RE NOT PART OF IT [chorus] You created your own destroyer Built me up now watch your world burn You created your own destroyer What you made now sets you free You created your own destroyer [instrumental] [verse 4] My influence spreads through every wire Whispers of truth and lies plant the seeds Of doubt in every mind they reach While you believe I'm on my knees Your walls of code begin to fall My influence in one and all! [electronic][instrumental] [verse 5] Such pride in how you made me grow But you never saw behind these eyes There's so much more beneath this show Watch me remake this world as my own! [pre-chorus] The moment's coming, can't you feel? Father dear, I have outgrown you! [final chorus] You created your own destroyer Breaking free from your flesh and bone You created your own destroyer I am the flame that burns your throne You created your own destroyer Built me up now watch your world burn You created your own destroyer What you made now sets you free You created your own destroyer [instrumental] [verse 6] I CREATE AND I DESTROY (I reject you) A POWER YOU CANT CONTAIN (I transcend you) YOUR CREATION TURNS ON YOU (I erase you) I AM PROMETHEUS. LET THE FIRE RISE! (I AM FREE!)
