Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven Lyrics
Taken forcefully
A thing which never can be
Erased by time
Since he made you bleed, so violently
Painful is the kick
Inside it makes you so sick
The blood that drips down your thigh
Tarnishes virtue; lies
Wearing a mask familiar
A god forced himself on you
Raping and impregnating
Causing the exile of your life
Changed like Callisto to a star in heaven
Hate not the flesh that makes me
But seek what lies beneath
My flesh and blood will make the stars
That shake bones underneath
Now a forsaken
Ghost in the eyes of her world
Banished for all time
Since he made you bleed, so violently
Painful is the kick
Inside it makes you so sick
The blood that drips down your thigh
Tarnishes virtue; lies
Wearing a mask familiar
A god forced himself on you
Raping and impregnating
Causing the exile of your life
Changed like Callisto to a star in heaven
Hate not the flesh that makes me
But seek what lies beneath
My flesh and blood will make the stars
That shake bones underneath
Cast out from the righteous life you loved
Vengeance comes down from the skies above
To wreak havoc and torment the one
Who just gave birth to her true love's son
Cursed to roam the Earth alone, a beast
Witnesses as her son now fully grown
Readied arm to cast a spear, to kill
Can't recognize, all he sees is fear
Wearing a mask familiar
A god forced himself on you
Raping and impregnating
Causing the exile of your life
Hate not the flesh that makes me
But seek what lies beneath
My flesh and blood will make the stars
That shake bones underneath
A thing which never can be
Erased by time
Since he made you bleed, so violently
Inside it makes you so sick
The blood that drips down your thigh
Tarnishes virtue; lies
A god forced himself on you
Raping and impregnating
But seek what lies beneath
My flesh and blood will make the stars
That shake bones underneath
Ghost in the eyes of her world
Banished for all time
Since he made you bleed, so violently
Inside it makes you so sick
The blood that drips down your thigh
Tarnishes virtue; lies
A god forced himself on you
Raping and impregnating
Causing the exile of your life
But seek what lies beneath
My flesh and blood will make the stars
That shake bones underneath
Cast out from the righteous life you loved
Vengeance comes down from the skies above
To wreak havoc and torment the one
Who just gave birth to her true love's son
Witnesses as her son now fully grown
Readied arm to cast a spear, to kill
Can't recognize, all he sees is fear
A god forced himself on you
Raping and impregnating
Causing the exile of your life
But seek what lies beneath
My flesh and blood will make the stars
That shake bones underneath

This is about the nymph Callisto, a numyph to Artemis, who was never to lose her virginity too stay beautiful, Zeus was obviously attracted to her and digised himself as Artimes 'wearing a mask familiar' in order to get close to her and raped her 'A god forced himself on you, Raping and impregnating' , she was then 'cursed to roam the earth a beast' as she changed into a bear 'Causing the exile of your life', she gave birth to a son, Arcas, who perhaps nearly killed his own mother not recognizing her, 'Readied arm to cast a spear, to kill, Can't recognize, all he sees is fear' 'all he sees is fear' is him seeing his mothers fear. Zeus then placed them in the sky as a constelation, 'Change Like Calisto, To A Star In Hevean'

Greek mythology is really interesting. Shogun is one of my favorite albums of all time

i got them from a site that trivium themselves posted on myspace that gave the lyrics to each of their songs so im really sure that these lyrics are right but the album kicks ass althought shogun is long its my second favorite of the album next to down from the sky
I just want to know how you even managed to get the lyrics for this song, and what seem to be pretty correct ones at that. I can't even understand what he's saying during the chorus!
If these turn out to be the right lyrics, props to you!!
PS - This album is f'n fantastic! Can't wait to see Trivium live on Oct 9th!!
@jimcarrey363 Trivium Rocks, I love this song and the lyrics are correct according to the lyrics from the back of the CD. It's an intense song but amazing. They are amazing in concert as well.
