God of War - Dan Bull

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 what 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

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

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 every night 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

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

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 hurtin

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

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
