Welcome back, punks and rebels
You're listening to Radio Free Ilium
Broadcasting wherever we can on whatever frequencies we can hack
Let's start with a song for the haters out there who, uh
Polish Olympian Spears
The government may say he's a crook, but
We all know who the real crooks are
You all know this one: it's Prometheus by TLS!
Five years into the Ilium war the city built a firewall
That cut us from their urban sprawl and kept the signal out
The barricades they'd tried and failed
Their green recruits our men had nailed
But without the wireless beat of life we were finally cut off
But then one man broke through
Found a way to aid our righteous coup
Prometheus, the hero who let us hold off the horde
Prometheus, who proved the keyboard's mightier than the sword
Prometheus, he gave his life to keep our spirits strong
When we pass into the Acheron
We'll be singing out his song
Our homes were burned and blighted shells
Their military had overwhelmed
The movements of their soldiers were now veiled beyond our sight
Without a word he gave us all the data that could bring their fall
He didn't ask for accolades, he didn't name a price
He gave us hope, on that night
The lonely chance that kept us in the fight
Prometheus, the hero who let us hold off the horde
Prometheus, who proved the keyboard's mightier than the sword
Prometheus, he gave his life to keep our spirits strong
When pass into the Acheron
We'll be singing out his song
After what he did, Olympus couldn't turn a blind eye
They'd lost so many soldiers that he surely had to die
They snatched him from his lair before he said his last goodbye
And they cracked down on his followers and set his world alight
But the legacy he left us means the gods we will defy
And even as our homeland dies we scream his battle cry!
Prometheus, the hero who let us hold off the horde
Prometheus, who proved the keyboard's mightier than the sword
Prometheus, he gave his life to keep our spirits strong
When pass into the Acheron
We'll be singing out his song
Yeah, fucking separatists...
