[Intro]
Some advice
(… on avarice)
[Verse 1]
The need to exceed
(Desire on fire)
To feed to bleed
(Greed, greed, greed)
[Bridge]
Some advice
(… on avarice)
Cheating immortals and men
(Doing it over and over again)
[Chorus]
Self-aggrandizing
(Wealth vandalizing)
Daft grandstanding
(Stealth corruption)
[Verse 2]
In a mess of excess
(Desire for dire)
To bleed to feed
(Greed, greed, greed)
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Outro]
Cheating mortals and gods
(Doing it over and over again)
… come on… what are your odds
(Of a divine sin?)
ABOUT THE SONG
Sisyphus founded Ephyra (later Corinth) and was known for his extreme cleverness and avarice. As a ruler, he used ruthless, self-aggrandizing methods to boost his wealth, while frequently cheating both mortals and gods. His actions were motivated by a desire to maintain power and wealth, which directly opposed the, often hubristic, authority of the gods. His greed-driven, treacherous nature led to his eternal punishment.
