Prometheus took the Clay and formed it into men
First He made the Elders, then went to work again
Thousands did he make setting them upon the knoll
He sang into their dreams, Great Visions filled their souls
Awakened to a Paradise preserved in script and song
They explored their habitation, growing friendships deep and strong
But while they laughed and sang, and hearts were filled with love
Hatred vile and hideous was soaring up above
While they danced and played, and cheeks were rosy red
Something dark and sinister was lurking up ahead
In a guise of feathers, malignant and absurd
Behind a crooked beak
Flew Gorthang as a bird
As the buzzard spied Prometheus
Malice held his will
Beak and talons forward
Gorthang dove in for the kill
But something magick happened
Which the bird did not expect
The Lord grew taller than a mountain
As he moved and stood erect
The ugly bird was startled
Nearly crashed into the ground
He flapped his wings in panic
To flee and not be found
Fire of creation, a Nation in its youth
Faustian and striving, a search for Light and Truth
They who keep the silent path, who count the stars at night
Shall be Wardens of the White Fire, and Bringers of the Light
The next time three birds appeared
To watch from high above
To take note of his process
As He formed Man with great love
The feathered gods departed
And started making men
Gorthang wove a tangled web
To confound them all again
Hordes of men were made
A sea to overwhelm and drown
And Gorthang duped the King
As he planned to steal his crown
All this while Prometheans
Built structures grand and tall
