Lyrics Hymn to Zagreus - Darren Korb

Hymn to Zagreus

Sing
Of Zagreus, oh muse
Slayer of hydras
First of his name
Born
Of Zeus as a serpent
In spite of Queen Hera
Zagreus came
Torn
To shreds by the Titans
Devoured in pieces
From his heart aflame
The seed
Of Dionysus grew
The God of wine and feast anew
To live
At home on Olympus
Never presuming
His origins true
Wrath
Of thunder and lightning
Struck down the Titans
Burned into sand
Up
From out of the ashes
Born of the Titans
The mortals did stand
To live
The model of the gods
At once divine and further flawed
In twain
The blood of immortals
Of Zagreus ending
It flows in their veins
The prince
Under the mortal ring
Prisoner to his king
Never to leave
Steadfast
Endlessly toiling
Doomed to remain
Endlessly toiling
Doomed to remain
