Far from the Asphodels

Ixion's Wheel

Compositor: ThorK

Beyond the lovely far-off lands of Arcadia. Styx a frightening river,
streams 'til black poplars
It uncovers the entrance of the Underworld hidden in the woods,
only known by Charon

Breaking on the wheel spinning around on this infernal wheel
Turned again and again by the Fates of death the endless torment of Ixion begins
Trussed up with serpents and filthy naked

"Suffer next to Sysiphe. Suffer like Tantale does, Suffer !"

Breaking on the wheel spinning around on this infernal wheel
Turned again and again by the Fates of death the endless torment of Ixion begins
Trussed up with serpents and filthy naked
A damed world far from the Léthé where drought means insanity
Opposed to Elysium, opposed to freedom.
Synonym for suffering, synonym for Agony Kingdom
Condemned for eternity for having challenged God Almighty
Breaking on the wheel is Ixion's fatality.
