Story of Myth and Man
A Beautiful winged creature walking by the meadow
While grasping a child that was made both man and myth
This winged being was rooted down because of a curse
Having her chastity undone by man was grave mistake
Thunder of clouds that haste above showed anger
The gods that guided the life of mystical creature was shattered
Tattered this beautiful winged being had this child
With no wings at all, a being that the gods cannot touch
The price of having the child the mother, had let go
A certain man that made the child with her
Her friendship ended while he was changed
To what the gods made him was all pain and no good
Sorrows filled her heart with anger that burdened
Forcing her to decide between her child and the man
She let her child float down the meadow to live
Struck with all sorts of events the man had endured
The man had changed but not his heart, looking for her
Where is the home of this winged creature that was cursed?
Beneath the forest by the meadow where they had laid
Memories was lost in such a way that the child and man never met
Since the child was both myth and man, he chose to be man
Striking the being who bore him, with such thrust of pain
The magic that the gods had put on the winged creature
Had worn off to show her beauty and broken the chain
The curse had lifted while the child had found his father
Who loved the mythical being, who changed back to man
The child that was made released both curses
Became a man of honor and loyalty to his fellow man
He was told that the mythical being and his father was in love
Not know the real curse was the gods that sheltered him
Made him to be the hero of man, yet slayer of myths
Father had died because of the pain that he suffered
Seeing his love beside him, not knowing he was there
At the meadow where they had laid, and fell in love
The gods had made him to be a monster only in her eyes
And the child had slay them both beneath the trees
By the meadow where he was born and was held by both
