"Zeus, infuriato dal furto del fuoco divino commesso da Prometeo decise di punire questi e la sua amata creazione: il genere umano. Prometeo venne incatenato ad una roccia ed ogni giorno un'aquila gli divorava il fegato.L'organo ricresceva durante la notte e così, la mattina successiva, il tormento riprendeva. Per punire gli uomini Zeus ordinò ad Efesto di creare una bellissima fanciulla, Pandora, alla quale gli dei donarono grazia e ogni sorta di virtù.

Ermes, che aveva dotato la giovane di astuzia e curiosità, venne incaricato di condurre Pandora dal fratello di Prometeo, Epimeteo. Questi nonostante l'avvertimento del fratello di non accettare doni dagli dei, sposò Pandora. Ella aveva con sé un vaso regalatole da Zeus, il quale le aveva ordinato di lasciarlo sempre chiuso. Ma, spinta dalla curiosità, Pandora disobbedì: aprì il vaso e da esso uscirono tutti i mali del mondo che si abbatterono sull'umanità. Sul fondo del vaso rimase solo la speranza, l'ultima a morire."

Il mito di Pandora,

un momento di riflessione per tutti...

Dream Theater - Wait For Sleep

Standing by the window

Eyes upon the moon

Hoping that the memory

will leave her spirit soon



She shuts the doors and lights

And lays her body on the bed

Where images and words are

running deep

She has too much pride to pull

the sheets above her head

So quietly she lays and waits

for sleep



She stares at the ceiling

And tries not to think

And pictures the chains

She's been trying to link again

But the feeling is gone



And water can't cover her

memory

And ashes can't answer her

pain

God give me the power to take

breath from a breeze

And call life from a cold metal 


In with the ashes

Or up with the smoke from the fire

With wings up in heaven

Or here, lying in bed

Palm of her hand to my head

Now and forever curled in my heart

And the heart of the world

Shake the Desease

I’m not going down on my knees,
Begging you to adore me
Can’t you see its misery
And torture for me
When I’m misunderstood
Try as hard as you can, I’ve tried as hard as I could
To make you see
How important it is for me

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these

Understand me

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever
Now I’ve got things to do
And I’ve said before that I know you have too
When I’m not there
In spirit Ill be there

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these

Understand me
