Siegfried Legacy - The Other Half

Inspired by Plato’s Symposium and Aristophanes’ myth of humanity’s divided halves. Torn apart by Zeus, two halves search for the wholeness they once knew. The Other Half — an epic melodic metal journey through ancient mythology, longing, and defiance. LYRICS: They say we once were one, Four arms, one perfect design. We raised our eyes to the heavens, Thirsting for stars that were mine and thine. We never knew the weight of loneliness, Never knew what it meant to fall. We stood beneath the endless sky, Believing we could have it all. Our radiance offended Zeus, Our unity became our crime. He brought the lightning down between us, And tore our souls across the divide. Now every fragment walks alone, Each half condemned to search the world. Two broken echoes of a whole That not even gods could let endure. I've searched for you in stranger's eyes, Through every veil of mist and shame. No peace can live inside this heart While I remain without my other name. I was born whole, but I live alone, A half-made soul in a world of stone. Let the heavens break, let the false gods kneel, They cannot erase what we know is real. We are more than the pieces they left behind, More than the fate they designed. When we rise again, when we reunite, Even the heavens will shake that night! Let the gods believe we're small, Lost and begging to be saved. They mistake our silence for surrender, They mistake our longing for the grave. But every road has led me here, Every scar has kept me true. There is no throne above the stars That can decide what I am to you. I've searched for you in stranger's eyes, Through every veil of mist and shame. No peace can live inside this heart While I remain without my other name. I was born whole, but I live alone, A half-made soul in a world of stone. Let the heavens break, let the false gods kneel, They cannot erase what we know is real. We are more than the pieces they left behind, More than the fate they designed. When we rise again, when we reunite, Even the heavens will shake that night! You split the flesh, you drew the line, You thought the halves would fade with time. But what was whole will seek its own, No god can claim what the heart has known. We were born whole — we won't die divided! Through storm and fire, our truth survives it! Let the heavens break, let the false gods kneel, They cannot erase what we know is real! We are more than the pieces they left behind, More than the fate they designed. When we rise again, when we reunite, Even the heavens will shake that night! Original poem: R.S. English translation and lyrical adaptation: R.S.
