~LYRICS~
Harukamukashi no GIRISHA no shinwa
Shinnen wo tsuranuku yuusha
Zennou no dokusaisha ni tachimukau
Sengi no REJISUTANSU
Saki wo shiru nouryoku sha wa mizukara no
Kanashii matsuro wo subete kakugo shinagara
Bokura no songen wo mamoru tamehi wo
Ubai shokei sareta
PUROMETEUSU, anata ga bokura ni ataeta honoo wa
Ima sugata wo kaete arasoi wo umi
Kokoro ni ana wo akeru
Kaeta no wa bokura da
Dansa no nai tai ranamibunya
Ichiyoude hito shi shisou
Fukujuu ya tairitsu ga sonzai shinai nante no wa risoukyou
Ikiru tameni umareta buki wa riken wo
Tada ubaiau dougu ni narisagari
Tsutae au dotoba kara umareta sou ga arasoi wo umi
Tatta hitotsu no kibou mo nokosaretenai PANDORA no hako wo
Kakaeru kodomotachi ga
Chou juuni afureru konoyo sakai wo sentaku shitanda
PUROMETEUSU, anata ga nozonteita mirai wo
Ima, bokura wa ayunde imasuka?
Kyokutou no daichi dewa sentouki no oto ga nari hibiki
Jirai fumi wakemo wakarazu rifujin ni korosareteku
Ayamachi wo okashite bokura ga susumu ikue no PARARERU WARUDO
Sokoni wa bouryoku wo uchikesu kibau ga aruto shinjitainda
PUROMETEUSU, anata ga bokura ni ataeta honoode
Sukoshi demo tadashi kimichi wo toboshi asu mo bokura wa aruku

~TRANSLATION~
The Greek legend from times past
A warrior who upheld his beliefs
He who opposed the mighty dictator
The righteous Resistance.

"Those with foresight" prepared for their fate alone but
For our sanctity, we extinguished the flame

Prometheus, the flame you gave to us
Drills a hole in the heart that breeds war
We were the ones changed.

"Equality" without social differences and
An ideology of "equality" with uniformity
A utopia where disillusionment and confrontation don't exist

Weapons wielded to preserve life are
Reduced to mere tools in the struggle for rights
The ideology of mutual understanding gives way to war.

Even if not even hope is left inside Pandora's Box
Held by children who crowd the streets
Prometheus, you who chose this world,
Are we heading to the future you wanted?

In the lands of the East, the sound of fighter jets echo
Landmines kill without discrimination.

We are advancing towards multiple parallel worlds
There, I believe hope will drown out violence
Prometheus, with the flame you gave us
Today and tomorrow we will walk along the difficult path it lights

~SONG INFO~
The song, as evidenced by the title, is based on the Greek mythology of Prometheus - a hero who rebelled against Zeus to aid mankind. As punishment for stealing 'the fire' from Zeus and giving it to man, Prometheus was chained to a rock and had his liver eaten out daily (it grew back at night because he was immortal). Zeus punished mankind with the 'first woman', Pandora.

Attempting a translation...So far, I have "Long ago, far away was Greece hero Had to go through beliefs of bravery;" I should probably find a better way to word that :3
