Electric Prometheus & The Stormbringer

Lightning in his veins, visions in his mind Dreams too bright for the world behind Wires hum, the future glows But the world just laughs nobody knows He built the tower, he made it shine Harnessed the storm with a grand design But power bends to greedy hands And they burned his dreams across the lands He showed the light, they took it all Now shadows dance across the hall He lit the sky, he touched the stars A thousand bolts, electric scars But genius fades when greed takes hold And now he walks the dark alone A lonely room, a fading name Forgotten by the world he changed Pigeons whisper, towers fall His masterpiece, now nothing at all From Edison's chains to Morgan's hand They turned his spark into the sand He lit the sky, he touched the stars A thousand bolts, electric scars But genius fades when greed takes hold And now he walks the dark alone Ghosts of circuits, whispers bright Still flicker in the dead of night For though the world may steal and lie His name still hums in neon skies The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.
