Ominous Ride - Sisyphus
Cunning and brash, The king of Ephyra Draws his final breath No apprehension Of confronting Death For he has a plan
Thanatos scales the palace gates His quarry a man who dared to betray Olympus And give up its secrets For his own gain
It is one thing to send the guilty down It's another to keep him
As the travelers forge the river Styx Tartarus looms in the distance The prisoner senses his opportunity to escape
The very manacles intended to keep him bound Are the ones that will free him
Sisyphus: Pray tell, are these my eternal chains? Death: Indeed, they shall be your tomb. Sisyphus: So forged to keep even a god detained? Death: No doubt they could humble the highest throne Sisyphus: I have reservations These shackles confuse me A brief demonstration On your own hands would soothe me... And I run
Zeus: How dare this mortal Sisyphus mock Death! He thinks his tricks will expunge his debt He may have wit, but he lacks respect For the gods! He will pay for this treason!
A mountainside is where he'll serve his sentence A mighty stone is how he'll pay his penance. He needs no chains, for his toil is endless Trudging and rolling from season to season
Pushing And rolling And trudging And toiling Till the end of time

Jeff Brown - Orion (Shadow)
Arms raised – feels like a good day to die Stand straight – seems the winds are blowing dry So many secrets still to keep The Archer and the Thief Sink low – returning to the dark We know – the light is but a spark So many secrets still to keep The Archer and the Thief The edges slowly fade The thief will crawl away While perched upon the wall The Archer's time will fall Draw fast – the hour's getting near At last – the reckoning is here So many secrets still to keep The Archer and the Thief So many years we've been asleep The Archer and the Thief
