By the Styx Lyrics

Beware of the hag dressed in rag, for she's hiding a vengeful goddess.
Hera betrayed by her man, will lead Semele to death.

(Hera) "O worshipper of Zeus, by the blood of your sacrifices. You are deserving the truth, ask him to reveal his face."

(Semele) "Show me yourself."
(Zeus) "I've sworn to not deceive you."
(Semele) "Show me your flame."
(Zeus) "Oh dear, I cannot resist you".

(solos : B.P., L.B.)

(Semele) "Your eyes they burn."
(Zeus) "My soul burns for you."
(Semele) "I die but please save the child."
(Zeus) "I will, but it hurts to lose you."

This birth... Among ruins and flames.
In smoke... From the dead lover of Zeus.
The child... Torn from the burning womb.
A new mold... Inside the thigh of Zeus.

A weird gestation, from mother to father.
A strange sensation. The child who's born from death.
Growing, and soon to become a god.
Yet his mortal mother, o she would seal his fate.

Born twice. From the thigh of Zeus.
Hermes, takes the child to the Nymphs.
Diogonos. Half god, half man.
Dionysus. He who brings joy and fear.

By the Styx. A God has just brought death.

By the Styx. And birthed a terrifying son.
