|
After Kronos dethroned his father, |
|
By castration while he slept, |
|
He threw his genitals, |
|
Deep into the sea, |
|
The twelve Titans ruled the heavens, |
|
Ouranos told him of the prophecy, |
|
You'll be overthrown, |
|
By your own son, |
|
He'll defeat you, |
|
As you defeated me, |
|
To thwart his impending doom, |
|
All his children he would eat, |
|
Because they're alli mmortal, |
|
They remained alive, |
|
Trapped inside his gut, |
|
A prison for all five, |
|
Rhea was enraged, |
|
A mother with no child, |
|
The sixth conception came, |
|
She went to Crete to hide, |
|
When Kronos came to Crete, |
|
Making sure the child is dead, |
|
She gave him a stone in cloths, |
|
He swallowed that instead, |
|
In a year the child matured, |
|
He waged a war on his father, |
|
The mighty Zeus prepared, |
|
For the battle, |
|
Of the Titans. |
|
Warlord! |
|
He forced Kronos, |
|
To spit up his kin, |
|
After his refusal, |
|
Of restoring justice |
|
So begins the Titanomachy, |
|
The Gods fought from Mt. Olympus, |
|
The Titans from Mt. Othrys, |
|
After ten years of fighting, |
|
The war hung balanced even |
|
Gaia prophesized, victory for Zeus |
|
If he aligned, fathers' prisoners, |
|
3 Cyclopes and 3 Hecatoncheires, |
|
He freed them from Tartarus, |
|
The Cyclopes gave Zeus thunder, |
|
And blessed him with fierce lightning, |
|
Hecatoncheires' one hundred arms, |
|
Hurling boulders at the Titans, |
|
The sea rang up, |
|
The heavens shook, |
|
The earth crashed, |
|
Olympus reeled |
|
Flame rose up into the sky, |
|
Thunderstone blinded eyes, |
|
Titans fell at their feet, |
|
See the end, Titanomachy |
|
They were chained there, |
|
In gloomy Tartarus, |
|
Behind the bronze wall, |
|
Pit of evil, |
|
Beneath the Earth |
|
Warlord! |
