[Intro]
\nAfter it all
\n(The downfall)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nSlaya’ of the Chimera
\n(On to defeat the Amazon)
\nBigger than the cinema
\n(You go on and on and on)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nAfter it all
\n(The downfall)<\/p>\n

\nOh my, grounded by a gadfly
\n(The horse bucked… you’re….)
\nFa, fa, fa<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nThe Downfall
\nAfter succeeding in several other legendary labors (defeating the Amazons and the Solymoi), Bellerophon’s pride grew until he believed he deserved to live among the gods. <\/p>\n
Flight to Olympus: He attempted to ride Pegasus to the peak of Mount Olympus.
\n Zeus’s Retribution: Angered by this arrogance, Zeus sent a gadfly to sting Pegasus. The horse bucked, throwing Bellerophon back to earth.
\n Tragic End: Bellerophon survived the fall but was blinded or crippled. He spent his remaining days wandering the Aleian Plain alone, avoided by both gods and men until his death. <\/p>\n
