Child of the sun
Rider of Dawn
What could I say?

you blessed me
that much is true
but your gift
has become a curse

Now I can't speak
anything but truth
the heart is spilling out

With your arms
wrapped around me
I writhe in visions
who has time for love?

I see the future
and the bitter loss
and you're alone

I'm only mortal
in time I will expire
while you always shine
I'm just a hurdle

Child of the sun
Rider of Dawn
What can I say?

you dine on
nectar and ambrosia
I fill myself up
on bread and wine

if no one believes
that you touched me
Olympus won't care

I can't stand to see
the future before me
I have to turn away
before I hurt you

After the war
I will be taken
a whore for the king

After which I will die
murdered by the hands
of his jealous wife
It is my destiny

If I never knew
I might have
held you dear

What dishonor am I?
To be adored by gods
and raped by men
I am so sorry

I have to reject you
it's now or never
to save your good name

Child of the sun
Rider of Dawn
What should I say?

I do want you
but every kiss
brings the vision
of a deadly future

Let me pretend
that I have no clue
When I am raided

But if you say
you can change this
I will submit to you
and keep my life

Child of the sun
Rider of Dawn
What will I say?

When no one knows
What you've done
I am labeled
as a lunatic

Child of the sun
Rider of Dawn
What can you say?

to ease this torture
to silence my fear
to stop the thoughts
of bitter murder

Apollo hear me
change my fate
take it all away
