elysian fields (mark j. dye) - the statue of olympian zeus lyrics
[verse 1]
there were two black doves flying in from thebes
new wisdom they would seek
one to libya and one to dodana
they began to speak
[pre+chorus]
while lying in those sacred trees
new religion trickles tender leaves
i am zeus god of all high peaks
i am zeus god of all the greeks
[chorus]
once zeus was the day
and once zeus was the way
once zeus was the way of light
bright within our sight
to which we would pray
[verse 2]
serenity and majesty are virtues of god zeus
humbleness in mortal men a vision of his use
[pre+chorus]
far above all gods and men
higher than high was back then
carved of stone somewhere way back when
too majestic for we can pen
[chorus]
once zeus was the day
and once zeus was the way
once zeus was the way of light
bright within all sight
to which we would pray
to which we would pray
[verse 3]
hera his wife
jealousy with good reason
zeus the lover
his love was open season
goddess or mortal
he loved them all
no woman could resist his call
[verse 4]
protector god of greece
what has happened to the peace
apollo was his prophet and his words have ceased
strength and wisdom many battles this god had
love and happiness for this god was neither good nor bad
[verse 5]
filled with hate
he maimed his father
and k!lled titans and giants
not unlike
how in time
it was a time of tyrants
[pre+chorus]
zeus had the power of the universe
through the skies he would transverse
world would beckon to his every call
crete is caught before the cretian fall
[chorus]
once zeus was the day
and once zeus was the way
once zeus was the way of light
bright within our sight
to which we would pray
[verse 6]
zeus is the day
he was god of the sky
god of mountaintops
he was god all high
morality, personality
and god supreme
he chastised the wicked
and protected the weak
his birthright [?]
his birthright to keep
calm and collected no one’s fool
a spirit with a human’s will to rule
zeus protected greece from all wars and disease
where is greece now where is all they achieved
assumed zeus would protect them
all were deceived
by being neither good nor bad
was he just something in which to believe?
[chorus]
once zeus was the day
and once zeus was the way
once zeus was the way of light
bright within our sight
to which we would pray
to which we would pray
