After getting attracted to the gothic elements of Evanescence, I've picked up with a similar band called Within Temptation. One of their songs, Mother Earth, grabbed my notice, but it wasn't until recently I've realized how well it describes Hephestia and the role the gods play in the books, especially The Queen of Attolia

Read the lyrics under the cut or listen at YouTube.

Mother Earth

by Within Temptation


Birds and butterflies
Rivers and mountains she creates
But you'll never know
The next move she'll make
You can try
But it is useless to ask why
Cannot control her
She goes her own way

She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
She goes her way

With every breath
And all the choices that we make
We are only passing through on her way
I find my strength
Believing that their souls live on
Until the end of time
I'll carry them with me

she rules until the end of time
she gives and she takes
she rules until the end of time
she goes her way

Once you will know my dear
You dont have to fear
A new beginning
Always starts at the end
Once you will know my dear
You dont have to fear ...
Until the end of time x3
She goes her way

she rules until the end of time
she gives and she takes
she rules until the end of time
until the end of time
until the end of time
she goes her way


It could very well be Hephestia's theme song. Thoughts?
