God Of War

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am a father, unto the son of a deity The day I sailed that river into Hades, I must pay a fee I lost a daughter but saw her when I crossed the water Rushed toward her and caught but nothing more than dust The torture of that awful daunting dawn's The force always propelling me Forward through the mourning tune Still haunted by her melody I'm humble in the shadow of my father's legacy Inheriting his sentiments that once I thought I'd never see Reassessing then amending my identity In light of the descendent seed that destiny has sent for me He needs his father, his father needs his son And so we march on deeper 'til the final deed is done [Chorus] I am my father's son I am the father of my son Whose father's father's son Is farther from his father than his son I am my father's son I am the father of my son Whose father's father's son Is farther from his father than his son [Verse 2] My son's a piece of me, I've become so pleased to see him Cleaving a beast to pieces like he's a piece of meat for eating Each and every lesson is ample I need to be there to set an example To mop up the mess and untangle the web That not every man can accept even handle He needs his father, each eve is darker than the previous Harking to the deepest depths of Tartarus where they're leaving us I need to see his future, pleading, bartering with Prometheus Can he see us? I want to swathe my babe In the armour of Odysseus, can't safeguard or guarantee He stays from harm's way, he might stray And everynight I'm away from his light is a dark day That I can't take, to take him away would leave part of me numb I'd rather be done, rather be hung Drawn and quartered than the thought of a fatherless son He needs his father, his father needs his son And so we march on deeper 'til the final deed is done He needs his father, his father needs his son And so we march on deeper 'til the final deed is done [Chorus] I am my father's son I am the father of my son Whose father's father's son Is farther from his father than his son I am my father's son I am the father of my son Whose father's father's son Is farther from his father than his son [Verse 3] Your low status own case has no basis so face it I'm crumbling it like oat cakes 'cause you're bumbling and it shows Race with no brakes or low stakes Don't be slow paced, life won't wait For the death dance and when I throw shapes They rotate 'til a bone breaks, though blows rain Don't show pain, I'm poe faced, not for my own sake But for that of my son, aim to be so brave So sow grain and restow grace When I show faith, I showcase We can both brace our unknown fates Like snowflakes that float straight over boats, lakes Any location the flow takes us So the day that smoke makes us choke They will know Kratos rose Atreus My god, those flows; gracious Brace yourself for even more 'Cause I'm only getting started These flows aren't for the faint hearted I'm a great Skarl spinning bardic tales, big as hearts of whales Splitting waves like a shark fin Making a mark in a state of the art way Making you pray for the lately departed Painting a stark image, raising up our kid While trying to tame all the rage of a Spartan Can't list all the ways that I'm hurting The play's just starting, they're raising the curtain How can a father make way for his heir? Well, there's only really ever one way to be certain [Chorus] I am my father's son I am the father of my son Whose father's father's son Is farther from his father than his son I am my father's son I am the father of my son Whose father's father's son Is farther from his father than his son
