lyrics

Prometheus, please- what were you thinking? Prometheus, please
As the flames know - grief can be deeper

If you take till you choke, yes, grief can be deeper
Ghosts in the forms of glaciers and seabirds

Calls from coral to coal: fire, you’ve done me wrong, why?
Prometheus, please- what were you thinking?
Prometheus, please
As the waves roll- lost languages keeper

As the vultures they coast on winds that are meagre
Fed by what’s left- not killers but seekers

Through our failed tests- fire- we’ve done you wrong, why?
Prometheus, please- what were you thinking?
Prometheus, please
Oh Prometheus, please- what were you thinking?

Yes, your gift could ease, but also bring suffering
When we took the lead- you know

We would take everything

Could you not see that
 We’d fuel our own ending?
Fire-what were you thinking?

Fire-what were you thinking?
Prometheus, please (could it be easy?)
What were you thinking? 

Prometheus, please (could you let deeper in?)

Prometheus, please (could you go easy?)
What were you thinking?
Prometheus, please (hear what we’re offering?)
As the flames roll
What were you thinking? As the flames know
As the waves roll
What were you thinking? As the flames know
Please...please...please...
