[Lyrics by Thomas Karlsson (German translation by Dr. Christian Ratsch)]
[Music by Christofer Johnsson/Kristian Niemann]

Ersteig' den hochsten Berg
Trotze des Zeus Gesetz
Stiel die Feuerfackel
Schenke sie dem Menschengeschlecht

Des Prometheus Funke
Ward zur Menschenseele
In Ketten schlug ihn Zeug
An den Fels im Kaukasus

[chorus:]
Prometheus Fessel
Sie sei gelost!
Prometheus Kette
Erlost den Gott eur' Seele
Prometheus Fessel
Sie sei gelost!
Prometheus steig' auf
Dem Adler und Rauche gleich

Zeus straft die Menschheit mit
(Der) Buchse der Pandora
Aber Herakles Kraft
Entfesselt den Titanen

Gewunden im Leid
Doch fuhlst es kaum
Du stahlst der Sonne Feuer
Erleustest der Menschen Nacht

[chorus repeat]

[English translation]

Fire Overture / Prometheus unleashed

Climb the highest mountain
Defy Zeus's law
Steal the torch
Give it to mankind

Prometheus's spark
Became a human soul
Zeus enchained him
On a rock in the Caucasus Mountains

Prometheus's chain
It be unfastened!
Prometheus's chain
Release the god of your soul
Prometheus's chain
It be unfastened!
Prometheus rise
Like the eagle and the smoke

Zeus punishes mankind with
Pandora's box
But Herakles's strength
Unleashes the Titan

Bound in suffering
But you hardly feel it
You stole the fire of the sun
You enlighten mankind's night
