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
(you need stop,this is so pointless)
Grace
i've got to say that i'm amazed i held my tongue for so long
not such a fan of this whole plan,but who's to say that you're wrong?
now should a god erase a memory
when there's no chance of changing history?
(Crowd)ch-ch-ch-change!
this guy who sacrificed his life so you could live in his place
wish he'd drop by,'cause man i'd die to see the look on his face!
you try to hide from your reality,but then come back with regularity
and if you notice a disparity
then what's the meaning of his legacy?
(Crowd)everybody!
who gives a damn about your suffering?
(Crowd)everybody!
who wants to see you be yourself again?
(Crowd)everybody!
who feels your pain,in case you're wondering?
(Crowd)everybody!
you got the time,but it's st-stuttering
(Crowd)everybody!
…wants to see you fall in love
Aphrodite
i can't place your face,so let me give you a hand
an idol should embrace the things they don't understand
and you don't get it
my mind's a falling city,buildings crumbling down
what is more the pity,all i hear is the sound:
bombs blanketing the ground,a screaming so profound
and you want to play around
well,you offend
(Crowd)everybody!
is insulted by your acrimony
(Crowd)everybody!
wants to wallow in my testimony
(Crowd)everybody!
so who is ready for a ceremony?
(Crowd)everybody!
i'll be siding with the everybodies
(Crowd)everybody wants to see you fall in love!
Eros
i never thought you'd let it get this way
i've stood by,watching what we've built decay
we're just pretending that the ending is near
mother,isn't it clear?your family is here
(Crowd)everybody!
can see the agony you're going through
(Crowd)everybody!
knows a goddess is inside of you
(Crowd)everybody!
keeps repeating what they're meant to do
(Crowd)everybody!
i've got to stop it just to prove to you
(Crowd)everybody!
Eros&Grace
wants to see you fall in love
(urge Aphrodite to forgo the ritual)
everybody!
Aphrodite
who's going to help me overcome the war?
(Crowd)everybody!
who's going to be there when i'm on the floor
(Crowd)everybody!
who's going to cry when i walk out the door
(Crowd)everybody!
'cause i'm not going to do this anymore
(Crowd)everybody!
wants to see you
wants to see you
fall in love again!
