The Ritual - Green Edition

[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
