Burn Lyrics
From the silence of a headless horror, learn.
When an answer comes in mind, more questions follow,
Knowledge burns like an everlasting flame.
The Promethean regime,
My authority supreme
From the silence of a deadly horror...
Burn...
My disciples wear a burning halo
Burn.
An epiphany experienced in ultra violet
As the seeker finds the truth he wants to find
Purifier of thoughts, in the clarity of forms
Learn
From the silence of a headless horror, learn
Burn
Feel the hunger of the dark explorer
Burn
From the silence of a headless horror, learn
Knowledge burns like an everlasting flame.
The Promethean regime,
My authority supreme
Burn...
My disciples wear a burning halo
Burn.
As the seeker finds the truth he wants to find
Purifier of thoughts, in the clarity of forms
From the silence of a headless horror, learn
Burn
Feel the hunger of the dark explorer
Burn

This song is about Prometheus giving the fire to humans. The fire is a metaphor for the intellect. This song describes how the intellect works and affects humans. The absurdity of it, but yet the usefulness. It clarifies thought, but the seeker always finds the truth he wants to find.
Forgot to mention that the lyrics refer dircetly to the mental aspect of the intellect hence "a headless hollow" - It is not physical.

And it describes the desire for knowledge as a flame as well. That is why I think the Promethean metaphor is so great!
