The Tears of Hygieia

(Verse 1)
It all began one January day,
No one ever saw it on its way,
Sitting on the edge of the abyss,
Steps that soon would lead to suffering's kiss.
With your backs turned toward the void,
You ignored Viracocha at sunset's glow,
Who longed to claim his sacrifice,
Like Iphigenia, smiling with delight.

(Chorus)
And that morning, I stood witness to the end,
Of a sterilized world, my friend,
Where nothing ever could go wrong,
While all of you kept climbing on.

(Verse 2)
The Olympian heights had lost their throne,
The heavens crashed down all at once,
They spread their poisoned breath around,
And every nose became its ground.
Obsidian blades came crashing down,
Striking every waiting chest,
Thousands of hearts left unexpressed,
While Mélusine turned men into stone.

(Chorus)
And that morning, I stood witness to the end,
Of an arrogant world descending,
Falling into endless night,
Where all of you fought to survive.

(Bridge)
Powerless, Hygieia wept in pain,
Panacea held her once again,
While the serpent kept its timeless art,
Climbing Asclepius' sacred staff.
It will not bring the dead to life,
While countless bodies lie on the ground,
As others pray for better days,
Before they're turned to stone.

(Chorus)
And that morning, I stood witness to the end,
Of a screaming world in despair,
Cursing every scientist in prayer,
While all of you envied the medicated.

(Outro)
You kept counting every passing hour,
While I was stealing all your time,
Wrapped within Artemis' embrace,
Praying nothing more would fade away.
The year 2020 had its dawn beyond,
Where dreadful mornings carried on,
Despite the tears of Hygieia,
The day at last drove out my night.
