lyrics

The Trials of Hercules:

The son of a God, we are the children
Tasked to atone for sins he was forced in
He beat all the odds
We ascend from his star
Inspired by a son
The son of a God
We are the children that he fought for
Our will is shorn from battles conjured

He fought for the gods
That cursed his path
A coerced impasse
And death thus followed
Doomed was his cause, thought all of the gods
We learn from the will, that helped him triumph

Strategy and gall
A club and his wrath
A god and a man
His enemies faltered

(CHORUSES)

(Zeus was his father
Hercules was banished
Was expected to suffer
And a destiny altered)
(We will never falter
A will never ravished
Just as he conquered

His lessons that we fathomed)
He strangled a lion with the skin of armor
The first of 12 arduous labours
Hera conspired
Goddess of marriage
Her plans were foiled
Hercules triumphed
And so we learn the meaning of valor
As the world twists us into barrows
The legend is ours

An ancient idol
Of strength and honor
And pain and horror
Undeterred with discerning morals
Ascension is plagued with false laurels
We tread the path
That we follow
A metaphor for life
His and ours

(CHORUS 2)

(Immortal agony
Hercules suffered
Until his father
To Olympus took him)
