lirik lagu niobides – promethean
niobides, born of royal blood
daughter of the great tantalus
proud of her numerous offspring
held these words
« prefer the god that you can see
rather than revere the unseeable ones
my beauty and fertility
surp-ss that of the goddess
leto, mother of the twin gods
haste yourself
praise me
or my anger is upon you all
»
indignant, the mother of the gods
apollo and artemis
adressed them
« my children, i have been harmed
this mortal forbad my altars
and does not vow you any respect
»
« cease, said the god of light, those laments that delay the punishment
»
near the walls of the city of thebes
the seven sons of niobides
proudly overlaped their steeds
unaware of their impending death
and apollo ; and his avenging arm
the awful slaughter began
no male offspring survived
pierced by murderous arrows
seven bodies lays
below the sun
« leto, feast on my sorrow
your son k!lled me seven times
but still i am the greatest
after so many funerals ! »
this excessive bragging
was fatal to her daughters
artemis
the vengeful goddess
made each of her fall
on their brothers’s deadly wounds
withdrawing unfairly
their final breath
« i admit, you have won
you are the greatest of us
now let me rest, please
for i have lost all my offsprings
»
muted by her sadness
petrified by what she had done
slowly, her tender skin turned
into the coldest stone
her veins became ivory
her tears, marble
her last breath was trapped in her
petrified
