about

In ancient Greece, people used to attribute phenomena that they could not explain to the Gods and the Heroes. Greek mythology is such a patchwork of parables and allegories that imply great and timeless truth, although they have little to do with reality or historical events. One of these myths is the myth of Phaethon, who demanded to lead the Sun chariot, despite his father's objections. The boy lost control and sowed destruction. Zeus interrupted his course with his thunder and killed him to save the universe. The legend at that time was about to explain extreme weather phenomena like frost when the chariot was up too high, heat, and fire when the chariot was diving uncontrollably on the ground. Today, the myth describes climate change. A catastrophe that is imminent when the chariot of the Sun falls into the hands of spoiled humanity.

lyrics

Falling Star Lyrics:

There was a boy the son of Sun
who needed proof of father's love
he asked his father for his steeds
he was indeed a man of deeds

"You cannot rule those proud horses
breathing out through mouth and nostrils
the fire burning in their chest"
the boy insisted on his request

His father let him yoke his steeds
he was indeed a man of deeds

There goes the boy up in the skies
above the clouds the chariot flies
fire breathing horses rolling the wheels
less of a burden their carriage feels

His father let him yoke his steeds
he was indeed a man of deeds

The cargo's light horses went stray
God's only son's carried away
when further up the earth is freezing
when diving steep hell's fire burning

The boy saw a sudden light
he felt the heat he lost the height
a falling star into the river
blazing in peace no fear no shiver

His father let him yoke his steeds
he was indeed a man of deeds

His father let him yoke his steeds
he was indeed a man of deeds
