Act IV

Verse 1: Herod sought a twisted path, To cheat the fates and grasp god’s wrath, A ring of wishes, poison’s kiss, To loop through time, he’d not miss. Chorus: Time, time, in a loop he’d find, Power and knowledge intertwined, A minute’s dance, infinity’s chance, Herod’s fate in a shadow’s trance. Verse 2: Poison taken, wish then cast, To the future, he’d travel fast, Steal his shadow, memories gained, In a loop, his power sustained. Chorus: Time, time, in a loop he’d find, Power and knowledge intertwined, A minute’s dance, infinity’s chance, Herod’s fate in a shadow’s trance. Bridge: Risks assessed, spells unknown, In this loop, his mind had grown, To break the cycle, he’d need a way, To escape the loop, to end the play. Chorus: Time, time, in a loop he’d find, Power and knowledge intertwined, A minute’s dance, infinity’s chance, Herod’s fate in a shadow’s trance. Outro: In loops of time, his mind did fade, A gamble lost, a plan unmade, Herod’s dream of godhood torn, In shadows deep, a demon born.
