Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
God of the golden bow,
Of the lyre and the flame,
Of the hair that blazes the dawn,
I called out your name.
Charioteer of endless time,
Patient wheel in the sky,
Where was your fury
When I crowned myself in your light?

[Pre-Chorus]
Was I only crawling dust,
Too low to even die?
Or did you see through my pride,
To the sorrow inside?

[Chorus]
Oh Apollo!
I wore your laurel like a thief in disguise,
Spoke your glory with a broken tongue,
And lived in the shadow of your fire-bright eyes.
Oh Apollo!
Why did you spare me when thunder could fall?
You silenced the storm with the stroke of your strings,
You pitied it all.

[Verse 2]
The Thunderer’s hand was raised,
The eagle’s wings grew grim,
The sky was heavy with rage,
The storm born within.
But your strings turned wrath to sleep,
Your light cut through the storm,
You stayed the fire,
While I mocked your crown, adorned.

[Pre-Chorus]
Why beg mercy for a fool,
Why bend the sky for me?
Why let me stumble proud,
In borrowed majesty?

[Chorus]
Oh Apollo!
I wore your laurel like a thief in disguise,
Spoke your glory with a broken tongue,
And lived in the shadow of your fire-bright eyes.
Oh Apollo!
Why did you spare me when thunder could fall?
You silenced the storm with the stroke of your strings,
You pitied it all.

[Bridge]
The Pleiades were watching cold,
The roots were stirring deep,
The ocean turned its endless wheel,
While I played king of thieves.
Who was I to dare your crown,
To boast against the light?
Now I kneel low,
To the fire in the night.

[Final Chorus]
Oh Apollo!
I wore your laurel like a thief in disguise,
Spoke your glory with a broken tongue,
And lived in the shadow of your fire-bright eyes.
Oh Apollo!
Why did you spare me when thunder could fall?
You silenced the storm with the stroke of your strings,
You pitied it all.
