This song is inspired by Ganymede, a figure from Greek mythology renowned for his extraordinary beauty. A mortal prince of Troy and shepherd, Ganymede was abducted by Zeus, who took the form of an eagle to bring him to Mount Olympus. There, he became the cupbearer to the gods and gained immortality, but at the cost of his earthly freedom. The song explores the duality of honor and loss, celebrating his transformation into the constellation Aquarius, while lamenting the personal sacrifice behind the myth. It is a lyrical reflection on longing, destiny, and the bittersweet nature of immortality.

Stolen by the Sky

[Verse 1]
Under mortal skies, I wandered free,
A shepherd boy, by ancient prophecy.
With golden locks and mortal grace,
I never dreamed I’d leave this place.

[Pre-Chorus]
But the eagle came from realms above,
A hand of power, a god of love.
Lifted from the earth, I cried,
Yet in his halls, I could not hide.

[Chorus]
Stolen by the sky, carried to the throne,
In ambrosial light, forever alone.
Cupbearer to gods, my fate was sealed,
But what of the heart they could not steal?

[Verse 2]
On lofty heights, I pour the wine,
Immortal now, but lost in time.
A mortal soul in a heaven’s cage,
A tale inscribed on mythic page.

[Bridge]
They call it honor, they call it fate,
But who will mourn the life they take?
From shepherd’s song to silent star,
Forever distant, forever far.

[Chorus]
Stolen by the sky, carried to the throne,
In ambrosial light, forever alone.
Cupbearer to gods, my fate was sealed,
But what of the heart they could not steal?

[Outro]
So gaze upon the night and see
The constellation that was me.
A captive boy, a god’s desire,
A soul transformed, a star of fire.
