Lyrics

[APHRODITE, spoken] 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 (sung) 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 werе vultures standing by Before wе 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 We had revelry and re-birth Our family all together 'Til thirteen million marching men Cut us down forever But brother Ares made it happen Joined their war without dispute Now the once mighty immortals Are just mud under a boot We let them take our loved ones It's what they wanted all along We thought they were beneath us We were wrong, we were wrong [APHRODITE, APHRODITE & APOLLO] Oh, the power of the idols Pounds within your chest But for now I am in mourning For a love gone unexpressed [APRHODITE] He was harder than a chisel I was a horrid block of ice A winter's chill that stayed until He made his sacrifice 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 [GRACE] I can't believe what I'm hearing today If your story stops there, I've nothing to say I can't imagine... I feel like a child, who grew up too fast The Goddess of Love, can't get past the past What good is a flame when everything's ash? I can't imagine... [APHRODITE & GRACE] There's no excuse, but immortals can tell (You know, you know...) There's no sweet release, it's ongoing hell... (You know, you know...) Everyone's here to bid me farewell Can you imagine? I can't imagine This really happened? [APHRODITE & CROWD] (River's too deep) I can't forgive, the river's too deep (River's too deep) It's reflection won't lie, so just let me sleep (Just let her sleep) I can't let go of what could've been [GRACE] Lost in a moment, lost in a song Lost in a moment, lost in a song Lost in a moment [EROS] Mother, I've stood by your side, now I no longer see The purpose of love, when it tears at the centre of me My arrows are rusty, forget the bow But I won't be begging not to go But when you're away you leave us a broken home And you leave me alone [GRACE & EROS] Lost in a moment, lost in a song Lost in a moment, lost in a song Lost in a moment [GRACE] So much suffering here Our queen deserves mercy, that much is clear And in the blink of an eye... [GRACE & APHRODITE, APOLLO] Lost in a moment, lost in a song (You know, you know...) Lost in a moment, lost in a song (You know, you know...) [APHRODITE] Lost in a moment Lost in a moment Lost in a moment
