Come Back, Helios!!

“Come Back, Helios!!” is a symphonic energetic metal song about a sulking sun, an angry earth, and the fragile responsibility of humanity.

When winter lingers too long and heat turns into drought,
it’s easy to blame the gods.
But what if the sun stepped back because we pushed too far?

This song is a half-serious, half-humorous prayer —
calling Helios back not with worship, but with honesty.
It speaks of Gaia’s rage, human excess, and the few who still try to live with care.

At the center stands Delmy (Steel Mother) —
a mechanical yet deeply maternal figure —
who delivers one final message:

“From here on, it’s your turn.”

The long outro leaves space to think,
and the final whispered line is not a threat, not a command —
just quiet solidarity.

“I’m on your side.”

Lyrics

[Intro – Spoken Word]

Hey… Helios.
Did you get scared of your own light?
Or did autumn steal your heart and run away?

[/Spoken Word]

[Verse 1]

You used to stride in summer heat
Pushing spring right off the street
Big and loud, you owned the sky
Now tell me why you said goodbye

Did you fall for autumn’s charm?
Fall in love, then cause us harm?
Now the world just shivers still
Cold hands, colder hearts to fill

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Love won’t burn in frozen air
Dreams curl up and hide somewhere
People shrink, forget their fire
Waiting on your light to rise higher

[Chorus 1]

Come back, Helios!!
What are you gonna do about this mess?
Come back, Helios!!
You left the world half-frozen, half-undressed

Two seasons stuck in between
That kind of balance isn’t clean
If you broke it, see it through
Come back, Helios — we’re calling you

[Verse 2]

I know it’s not all just on you
Humans chased what wasn’t true
They only wanted happiness
But crossed the line into excess

Gaia roared, you had to bow
Follow her command somehow
Still… don’t forget, there are a few
Trying hard to make things new

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Some regret, some change their way
Some still care for every day
So take a breath, don’t burn or flee
See the ones who still believe

[Chorus 2]

Come back, Helios!!
Remember how you used to stay
Come back, Helios!!
Watching seasons gently trade

Your light woke life beneath the ground
Now rage dries rivers, cold shuts mouths
Is this the role a god should play?
Or just glare, obey, and hide away?

[Bridge – Spoken Word]

Humans… listen well.
What I can do for Helios ends here.

From now on,
you must calm Gaia.
You must live with thought and care.

That path —
one day —
will make you happy.

[/Spoken Word]

[Final Chorus]

So… come back, Helios!!
You’re still far, I know it’s true
But cool your head this winter night
And if you bring back springtime light

Walk with winds both kind and fair
Warm the backs of those who dare
Move ahead the honest way
Let your light help them stay

And if Gaia cools her rage
You won’t need to hoard fall’s stage
But if fools still turn away…

Then don’t hold back.
Make them feel it —
blazing day, freezing night.

I’m on your side.
