Pythia, why has thou words whispered blood
That I would kill the crown to wear its gold
A Prince myself, why should I lust to be
A King...a killer...or whatever thy speaks
Who dares not know my father and the throne?
And to suggest his death by me...I laugh!
What of my brother...are we not a pair?
He even swears and drinks himself a cheer!
Could I be clever, curious or cold
To slay my father, or to slay his drink?
With gold I come and with gold nothing more
To ask of you where I would be in time
Yet all you give to me is blood and greed
And all I want to see are wives and seeds
Oracle, may thy portals have my love...
And me the chance to kiss Apollo's ring
Not now can I go home to him tonight
And say father good night to Morning's death!
Pythia, if the God's spoke through your eyes
Then blink again that I may die a Prince

ORACLE
When I was a child
My father told me
Of a wondrous creature
He'd seen in the sea.
In Lake Okanogan
Ogopogo's the feature
But here on our coast
We have our own creature.
Cadborosaurus is
Our sea serpent's name.
Not as famous as Nessie
But here she has fame.
October through April
Is 'Caddy' watching season.
She must like the cold
For the water is freezin'.
Marine biologists
Have reports by the score
But not one Cadborosaurus
Has washed up on shore.
So is she there
Or is she not?
I guess we won't know
Unless she gets caught.
My father believed
That he'd seen our 'Caddy'
So I believe in her too
Because I believed my Daddy.
I am the father of gods, the Olympian family and of mortals
The protector of the sky, soil and sea; heights and human race
Lord and lover of eagles and oak tree; aegis my mighty metals
A just judge, with a merciful mind with a firm, friendly face.
The youngest yet, the sweetest son of Cronus and Rhae…tall Titans;
The brother of Poseidon, Hades, Hesta, Hera and Demeter… deities,
For freedom, I fought my father and his followers…terrible Titans,
And set my siblings free from the cage of Cronus who dodged duties.
The protector of the weak, the punisher of the wicked and mercy-mania;
Winning all wars but one… I am the husband of Hera, my sweet sister,
Father of gods and goddesses: Ares, Hebe, Hephaestus and Eileithyia,
Lived a loosed life with women, fell for so many flowers…a trickster.
I am the Zealous Zeus, god of rain, gatherer of the cloud and thunder,
I an the zealous Zeus, the father of charming and cheerful children,
I am the zealous zeus, the husband of the immortal and mortal mothers,
I am the zealous zeus, the mentor of all mighty, merciful and mild men.
