Lydia the Bard
Oh Aphrodite
[Intro]
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
(Game, game, game)
(Game, game)
[Verse One]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I watch
Fire rain and nations fall
People die and mothers mourn
Oh, but Aphrodite
Won't you please heed my call?
My call
[Chorus]
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
[Verse Two]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, Aphrodite
I wanna be pretty like you
Oh, Aphrodite
I'm on my knees, now give me what's do
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
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
Oh, Aphrodite
Oh, Aphrodite
Oh, Aphrodite
Oh, Aphrodite...
