the ritual - blue edition - austin wintory, tripod lyrics

[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 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 sought shelter from the shadows
but were soon ripped from the dark
those mortals souls that ended us
were jealous from the start
they hunted me for power
to fuel their psychopathic cause
and once they fell before me
and worshipped all i was

they chased me down and threw me in a cage
held me prisoner for so long
i thought i’d win their hearts again
i was wrong
i was wrong

i see you have the power
it’s a poisonous reward
my virtues only scorn me
when i was once adored

loved by every mortal
then ripped from paradise
no one suffered greater
til he made his sacrifice

the man that i ignored saved me when i fell
yes, the husband i abhorred rescued me from h*ll
i thought it was a joke when it was said to me
he made 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 see everything
it’s interesting, why you feel so blue
because of the horror show from long ago
there ain’t no getting through
a husband who sacrificed
and paid the price for you to be free
wherever he is right now, you’d think somehow**

[aphrodite]
[ahem.] excuse me?

[grace]
sorry, i’m on a roll
i don’t pretend to know the mind of a god
that’s something i never thought i’d say
i’m not the only one here who wants to know
is the leaving now the only way to go?

[aphrodite]
i’m confused
who are you?
thank you for sharing little one
you’re eighty years overdue
now take your seat you’ve had your fun
i think you’ll find i’m a god
making note of a staggering lack of help
and so no matter what you think you know
this ceremony is the only way to know
apologies for the inappropriateness
of the style that we’re in, nevertheless
let’s push on and introduce to you all
everybody’s hero: venus!
she’s my protector
and soon you will see
in just a moment
i won’t be me anymore
no memory of war
in love like before
and you’ll be adored
you cannot ignore
it’s the only way to go

[grace, (aphrodite)]
you’re letting them beat you again and again
(only way to go)
now look at your family, surrounded by friends
(it’s the only…)
i guess, whatever you choose, it’s so not the end

(so much said in silence)
i don’t know what to do, she’s onto you
(it’s timeless, it’s precious sympathy)
i don’t know anything, a smattering
(can we all honestly, modestly

[both]
take a seat and breathe?

[grace, (aphrodite)]
’cause you’re that kind of a god
(cause i’m that kind of a god)

[aphrodite]
prepare the girl for precious cargo
just mad about the tragic puppet show
as my memory erases, so will all your faces
oblivion is the only way to go
the only way to go…
