Torments of Tantulus 歌词

Once a mortal man Invited the gods to make a great Impression on the immortals On the gods He sacrificed his son for Gleaming favour but it was just like dust In the wind A rich repast with silver and gold A splendour never seen before But the lids were hiding a human body Tantulus had missed the mark The punishment of Mercurius River of pain Hunger and thirst - trying in vain Overshadowed by ambition River of pain The Torments of Tantulus What have you done? The dogs of deepest hell Are barking at the ruined soul Of the fallen man, Who never can break the spell This cruel spell Alone with chains of fear and misery He wants to live again, Or die in silence He has doomed to stand in clear cool water with fruits around him He could never reach between life and death a morbid estate The embrace of fear keeps him awake
