letra de pluto, or the old god laments - tom smith (filk)
[verse 1]
i was tall
i was great
and my fall has been disturbing as of late
now i’m bent
now i’m broke
and they speak of me as if i were a joke
[verse 2]
i was cold
i was strong
i was feared as if the work i do was wrong
now i’m old
now i’m gray
now i find i miss the distant light of day
[verse 3]
in my prime, i stole the spring from the summer
in my time, i passed judgment with a will
but barbarians threw down my temples
and they keep on doing it still
[verse 4]
i was death
dark and proud
hardly ever speaking, never speaking loud
i was lord
it was true
i received the mortals’ tribute as my due
[verse 5]
i was blind
i was vain
i stood by and watched our influence wane
now we’re dust
now we’re bones
living only as the names of cosmic stones
[verse 6]
a god’s life depends on his worship
without worship, there can be no god
and although my time is long ended
i still am remembered — how odd
[verse 7]
though i’m shrunk
i have power
and not one of you can name my final hour
without warmth
without friend
without anything, just waiting for the end
[verse 8]
i’ve no fight
no great cause
i’ve no fantasy i’ll be what i once was
still i rule
acheron
people look at me and wonder what’s beyond
and as long as you keep looking…
i’ll go on
