Tonight, as stars draw nigh
And peer into the milky sky
To see if anything is new under the sun,
I pray that you will be in view for them.
And I pray, too, that you will dare
To steal fire again from the heavens,
Great Prometheus.

I will drive the get away
So that you, or rather, we,
Will not be caught.
For this world needs fresh fire,
But no one wants to be tied forever
To a stone where, eternally,
Eagles eat one's liver.

So this time we humans promise
That you will have aiders and abettors
And accomplices.
