his release now set in motion  
the old master of the ocean  
frozen in Antarctic ice  
waits his turn in paradise  
while above his younger brother  
has been busy like no other  
and to thunderous applause  
helping in his brother's cause

they'll save Gaia as she scorches  
from Prometheus' torches  
plan to end the rule of man  
one that they themselves began  
but their charges grew unruly  
treating mother coldly, cruelly  
and so time has come to end  
those that will not understand

his release now set in motion  
the old master of the ocean  
frozen in Antarctic ice  
waits his turn in paradise  
as the water's melting, melting  
man makes iron, burning, smelting  
and continues, like a fool  
it's Poseidon's turn to rule
