The title lyric at least comes from Greek mythology when the gods and goddesses tried to gang up on Zeus but he defeated them: "Zeus then grabbed Hera and tied her wrists with golden shackles, heavy anvils to her feet and hung her from heavens. She cried all night in such pain that she could be heard from the sky. No one from the immortals dared to help her in fear of Zeus. The next day, Zeus showed mercy and agreed to let her go in one condition though. Hera was to swear never again to plot and rebel against him."
