Prometheus brought us fire and we left him chained Our creator and champion turned on while pained Seabirds daily and forever picking at his liver For the gift unto his children that he would deliver I now know how the pain this man must feel With consent picking at what tries to heal Heart and soul once again betrayed Broken again by the fears thought belayed

Yes.

"I'm glad you metioned the content because I want to get that out of
the way early. This isn't about God and Satan as dieties or religious
figures. Rather it's about "good" and "bad." One
way I was taking it was the idea that good behavior doesn't attract
much attention. I actually had one of my classmates from highschool
in mind. He was a "good kid" and all through high school he
was B/C average. Three days before graduation he ran himself into a
tree in the car his parents had bought him as a graduation present.
He lived through it even though he hadn't meant to. When I asked him
why he did it he said "To be remembered." To be honest, I
think it worked." by the way this is profound, thanks, i understand now. Sorry about earlier my brain is acting up again.

No problem with the misunderstanding. It's a little hard to get at if it's not pointed out.

And Wow! A 10? I never give tens and never in my wildest dreams expected to get one. Thanks.
