Vaunted Pride by Wrathblade Lyrics

Pride goes before destruction, haughtiness precedes a fall
Hybris against Gods begets grief and dole
Sophrosyne is buried, awayin an unmarked tomb
And Nemesis as a righteous judge pronounces the transgressor's doom

Sacrifice!

Excessive pride unrolls salutes controversy
Kassiopeia rodomontades, insanity!
Andromeda the maid the fairest of all
Her beauty outdoes that of Mediterranean Nymphs

Chorus: A curse our eyes
Kassiopeia: Andromeda's comeliness is surpassing that of Nereids
Chorus: Irreverence and blasphemy
Kassiopeia: Andromeda's comeliness is excelling the Nereids

The Nymphs' wrath unfolds backed by Poseidon
Brings forth calamity on Aethiopian land
She's pinioned to a rock, a meal for beast Ketos
Her sacrifice the end of all, adversity
Chorus: Come! Come Perseus! Cease Andromeda's misfortune
Chorus: A curse upon our eyes
Chorus: Come! Come Perseus! Cease Andromeda's ill fortune!

Peseus, on winged horse
The Danaan son of Zeus, who's slain the sea dragon

Perseus on Pegasus
The Danaan son of Zeus, who's slain Ketos

Whelmed by her beauty, her freedom his duty, he'll set her free at all cost
These gyves will break sword's short outbreak, the beast attacks on, Perseus is lost
Sea monster Ketos. The coming of Ketos!

The beast breasts the waves, all in torment and daze, but Io! Perseus stands up to the dragon
Wi'his half moonlike blade he's storming the drake and sets its body to the sea ground
He's reaping Ketos! He's reaping Ketos!

Perseus, on winged horse
The Danaan son of Zeus. Who've slain the sea dragon

Perseus on Pegasus
The Danaan son of Zeus, who's slain Ketos
