Tantalus

Perpetually trapped
Lost sense of time
Eternal damnation
Cursed with temptation
The low-hanging fruit (the low-hanging fruit)
Forever alludes (forever alludes)
Ill-gotten gains (I'll gotten gains)
Forever pains me

Left standing here, knee deep
In waters cold and bleak
It's my eternal doom
To starve here in its bloom
Perpetually trapped
Long lost, the sense of time
Eternal damnation
In reach of temptation

To stand here on its roots
Reaching for low-hanging fruit
That's just beyond my grasp
Forever I am trapped

I watch the waters recede
Unable to reach, this is killing me
This cycle will last
Until the end, my eternal task

Left standing here beneath
A tree beyond my reach
It's tantalizing fruit
Forever me alludes
I served suspicious meat
It was a special treat
Cursed by my father's hand
Forsaken, I am damned

Heed my words
You're not your father's son
You went too far this time
I'd feed you to the dogs
but It's not enough, my child
Your punishment is time
To fit the crime, you're cursed
To dwell in the underworld

To stand here on its roots
Reaching for low-hanging fruit
That's just beyond my grasp
Forever I am trapped
Forever I am trapped

I watch the waters recede
Unable to reach, this is killing me
This cycle will last
Until the end, my eternal task

I watch the waters recede (I watch the waters recede)
Unable to reach, this is killing me
This cycle will last
Until the end, my eternal task
My eternal task
My eternal task
My eternal task
