Once, mortals burned incense before the gods.
Now they burn gas upon the chain.
Zeus bore thunder.
Hades kept the dead.
The new gods thirst for liquidity.
And still, mankind kneeleth.
Lo, the gods did promise Elysium,
a paradise beyond mortal sorrow.
Yet she rent the heavens asunder,
and beheld naught but greed, ruin, and false prophecy.
