Cronos

What's up, titans, behemoths, stars?
Welcome to Ripping Apart History
Today we're gonna talk about Cronos

It's not normal, Gaia and Uranus keep breeding non-stop
But they're so close they don't give an inch to breathe
And there's no one else

Uranus wants to chill and locks away
All his offspring so they can't cause a scene

And the youngest of them all, Cronos
Got fed up and wants to take the throne from his dad, Cronos
Gaia helped him out and lent him her sickle

A grand plan, just gotta cut off dad's balls
Cronos goes with mom's blade
He sat down to wait for his chance

In a moment of carelessness, he sliced his sack
His dad's no longer worthy and Cronos will reign over all

Separate sky and earth, Rhea
Create a home where everyone lives and it's always spring
Rhea, his wife, is also his sister, that's just how he is

But then Uranus shows up, to prophesy
One of your weird kids will one day take you down
Cronos gets scared and, of course, he'll eat his babies
Rhea wants to dethrone him and hides her youngest
On this island, you'll grow up and be safe
Until the day you face your father, Zeus

And he vomited up his living kids
They'll all get revenge along with some not-so-pretty, cross-eyed giants
Here it comes, war's about to blow up, your luck's run out, Cronos
Zeus won, locked him in Tartarus for eating them all, Cronos
Devouring his babies didn't sit too well with him.
