BELLEROPHON & PEGASUS — When the Sky Struck the Chimera

🐎🔥The Chimera could not be killed from the ground. So the sky had to become the weapon. This song reimagines the myth of Bellerophon and Pegasus facing the Chimera not as generic fantasy combat, but as an impossible Greek catastrophe — a fire-beast so deadly that only an attack from above could end it. A mythological song about the day the heavens struck back. Step into the sky-hunt. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎧 LYRICS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Fire in the air Wings in the blaze The Chimera has lifted its death to the day Bellerophon in the burning sky Pegasus cutting the smoke on high Three beasts in one One rider above And bronze met fire where the heavens struck Bellerophon in the burning sky Pegasus turning the flame aside If no hand below could bring it down Then let the sky come down on it In Lycia the valleys were learning fear Hooves could not cross where the fire drew near Lion in fury Goat in shriek Serpent behind like the end of a dream No shield held long No wall stayed clean Ash took the fields where the wheat had been So word climbed upward through smoke and dread Till the white-winged thunder was bridled and led Not for glory Not for name But because the earth could not bear the flame Bellerophon in the burning sky Pegasus cutting the smoke on high Three beasts in one One rider above And bronze met fire where the heavens struck Bellerophon in the burning sky Pegasus turning the flame aside If no hand below could bring it down Then let the sky come down on it He did not charge where the monster fed He rode the wind over wrath instead Pegasus lifted The dust fell small The beast threw flame but could not reach all Then bronze went forward And death went in Not through the heart but the furnace within The fire took metal The metal ran And ruin was made in the throat of the damned Open mouth Broken breath The flame became the beast’s own death Bellerophon in the burning sky Pegasus cutting the smoke on high Three beasts in one One rider above And bronze met fire where the heavens struck Bellerophon in the burning sky Pegasus turning the flame aside If no hand below could bring it down Then let the sky come down on it Not every monster falls to the sword Some must be answered from higher doors Not every terror yields to the plain Some must be taken above its flame White wings Black smoke Bronze in the furnace throat One scream split over the mountain stone Then fire failed where it once had ruled And the sky rode back through the ruin below Bellerophon in the burning sky Pegasus bright where the cinders fly Three beasts in one One rider above And the heavens drove through the mouth of death Bellerophon in the burning sky Pegasus carrying the strike of light The Chimera burned The mountains knew And flame fell back from the world it chewed Fire below Wings above And the beast learned fear of the sky it touched #bellerophon #pegasus #chimera #greekmythology #mythology #epicmusic #cinematicmusic #mythologymusic
