Aphrodite
we let them rise，we let it happen
we waited far too long
we thought we shouldn't intervene
we were wrong，we were wrong
since the beginning，we were hidden，we held court from up above
t'was the golden age of reason，and I the queen of love
but a plague of hate was spreading and there were vultures standing by
before we fell to our knees begging，we fell from the sky
we let them rise，we let it happen
we waited far too long
we thought we shouldn't intervene
we were wrong，we were wrong
（focus on their betrayal）
our so-called brother，Ares，sold his soul forever more
he so loved the military…he became their dog of war
He denounced his loving family, and with mortal guns and greed
on a plate gladly delivered everything that war-dog needs
he betrayed us，and we let，and with their mortal souls long gone
we thought we were untouchable
we were wrong，we were wrong
（focus on the outrage of it）
i can feel we have the vigor of an idol coming in
be wary，as they'll find you too，and tear you limb from limb
torture you and spit at you，parade you in a square
i thought my life was over
then a god answer my prayer
the man that i ignored saved me when i fell
yes the husband i abhorred rescued me from hell
i thought it was a joke when it was said to me
he struck a deal with our enemy's enemy
made a secret weapon so my captors let me go
he gave up his freedom，leaving just a memory
and this love i'll never know is what he gave to me
（i have big doubts about this）
Grace
i can see everything，it's interesting，why you feel so blue
because of the horro show from long ago，there ain't no getting through
a husband who sacrificed and paid the price for you to be free
wherever he is right now，you'd think somehow that--
Aphrodite
[coughs.]excuse me？
Grace
sorry！i'm on a roll！
i don't pretend to konw the mind of god
that's something i never thought i'd say…
i'm not the only one here who wants to know
is leaving now the only way to go？
Aphrodite
omg，here we go，another crow out on the fence
squawking，quibbling，oh，how i loathe such innocence
behold:the mind of a child！
let's not laugh or ridicule the girl
this ritual is a tradition now，you know
embrace it，it's the only way to go
（don't you think you should try？）
Grace
don't you write anything down？
is there a statue of hephaestus in town？
or is history just a record that slowly gathers dust？
you've got to turn it up loud so the player doesn't rust
because i find this story so unique…
heh，i'll sing in plain speak
Your rest leaves the rest of your family stressed and depressed
they repress，so will only digress
i'm impress by the sense of occasion，i guess
but this mess of quest to possess is grotesque
It's happened to me, and l'll never know when Calliope inside of me surfaces
so i request that your guests reassess the process
And unless you address all this godly excess, we'll continue to guess
While you repossess, and I won't acquiesce 'til a change manifests
i'm out
sometimes taking a breath's the only way to go
Considering the options left it's the only way to go
what is the only way to go
（you need to live！）
A&G
i'm stunned by the arrogance/Aphrodite，you're mighty
but eloquence sparks something in me
if you honestly can promise me all the help i need/if you proceed,we guarantee all the help you need
i'll be the kind of god/you'll be the kind of god
Aphrodite
you'll worship and adore like before
thank you，Venus，a brilliant cameo
Grace
and together we will face it
causes forgetting won't erase it
A&G
moving on's the only way to go
the only way to go
