Tantalus
Deceiver stole from the gods
Selfishly acted the thief
Betrayed them and broke their trust
Secrets he couldn't keep
But the worst was yet to come
'Twas not too late to repent
Of all the things he had done
The next made them forever resent
Repulsive, to my disgust
His son faced a horrible fate
Cut apart and boiled in blood
His dead body served on a plate
All of this just to test
Would they know?
Would they see?
Certain was his death
In hell he met his destiny
Eternal deprivation
Never will he satisfy
His temptations
Always receding, ever eluding
Purposeful punishment
Never will he quench his thirst
Forever wanting
Never receiving
This delusion, far too obvious
In seclusion, will he remain
Eternal deprivation
Never will he satisfy
His temptations
Always receding, ever eluding
Purposeful punishment
Never will he quench his thirst
Forever wanting
Never receiving
Selfishly acted the thief
Betrayed them and broke their trust
Secrets he couldn't keep
But the worst was yet to come
'Twas not too late to repent
Of all the things he had done
The next made them forever resent
Repulsive, to my disgust
His son faced a horrible fate
Cut apart and boiled in blood
His dead body served on a plate
All of this just to test
Would they know?
Would they see?
Certain was his death
In hell he met his destiny
Eternal deprivation
Never will he satisfy
His temptations
Always receding, ever eluding
Purposeful punishment
Never will he quench his thirst
Forever wanting
Never receiving
This delusion, far too obvious
In seclusion, will he remain
Eternal deprivation
Never will he satisfy
His temptations
Always receding, ever eluding
Purposeful punishment
Never will he quench his thirst
Forever wanting
Never receiving
