Oh Aphrodite

Oh, Aphrodite, bring me love and bring me youth

Oh, Aphrodite, haven't you felt lonely, too?

Every year I live, your pleas all sound exactly the same

And every year we just rewind and play the same old tired game

Petition love from me

Is it love you seek? Or dominions sweet?

Taste a war's defeat, swords and battles heat

I gift what you seek, history repeats

I watch fire rain and nations fall

People die and mothers mourn

Oh, but Aphrodite, won't you please heed my call?

My call

Oh, Aphrodite, bring me love and bring me youth

Oh, Aphrodite, haven't you felt lonely, too?

Every year I live, your pleas all sound exactly the same

And every year we just rewind and play the same old tired game

Oh, Aphrodite, please, I beg you, gift me a wife

Oh, Aphrodite, I'll give you gold, I'll give you my life

So unprepared and unaware of what exactly it is

That you ask

These wars so often fought

Claiming love's the cause, truly, love's not thought of

The harm you wrought, that's the love you're taught

Helen's blame was naught but a lie

You like seeing fire rain and nations fall

People die and mothers mourn

Oh, but Aphrodite, won't you please heed my call?

My call

Oh, Aphrodite, I wanna be pretty like you

Oh, Aphrodite, I'm on my knees, now give me what's due

Every year I live, your pleas all sound exactly the same

And every year we just rewind and play the same old tired game

Oh, Aphrodite, match me up with someone divine

Oh, Aphrodite, please give me the prettiest wife

So unprepared and unaware of what exactly it is

That you ask

So I'll watch for years as you fall head over heels

Fall so hard, you end up forcing foreign kings to kneel

Tell me why I should continue granting empty prayers

Watching lovers killing lovers as a war's declared

Soon you'll learn that love is anger, love is blood and tears

Still you beg for death, you beg for all your greatest fears

Here's your prayer, but are you ready for all that's in store?

Don't complain, my dear, for all is fair in love and war

Oh, Aphrodite

Oh, Aphrodite

Oh, Aphrodite

Oh, Aphrodite
