Vocalist Jessy Switchblade shares that "This song is based on the story of Prometheus, who stole the fire from the Gods and gifted it to mankind. It’s about the free thinkers, those who spread hope, those with forethought, those who question everything and take action against what they’re told and what they’re forced to believe. This song is dedicated to them, to us, to the tragic hero roaming planet earth. Prometheus was the ultimate anti-hero, both a trickster and a hero, an advocate for humanity, a purveyor of rebellion. This song is dedicated to the trickster in every one of us, who will break or bend rules to be different, to rise above, to create beautiful controlled rebellion.”
Vocalist Jessy Switchblade further elaborates that “As far as the cover is concerned, we decided to do a tribute to old school power metal covers. This one is largely inspired by Manowar and Primal Fear. We tied it up to the story of Lady Blitzkrieg and Deadline, after Abigail’s Crypt, Deadline have captured her and tied her to the church steeple and the eagle has been sent to attack her (It mirrors the story of Prometheus).”
lyrics
We stole the fire, we are the Gods
The true pariahs holding out with much resolve
The unabated, the unrivalled, we are sin
The free thinkers that have come to let you in
This is our cult
Behold the cult
Come to let you in
We are the fire, we acquire disorder
Mortality
We are the cult of Prometheus
In this mortal coil
mortal coil
You choose your game
choose your game
Yet you play Jesus, but it all remains the same
We’ll give you hope, we’ll spread the fear, but we’ll create
We are the future, press escape and reinstate
This is our cult
Behold the cult
Come to let you in
We are the fire, we acquire disorder
Mortality
We are the cult of Prometheus
This is our cult
Behold the cult
Come to let you in
We are the fire, we acquire disorder
Mortality
We are the cult of Prometheus
We are the art of bettering your every move
We seek elation, we seek freedom and the truth
This is our fire, our one desire
We are the, we are the, we are the cult
