Campfire God Song Lyrics

Tell me did you ever hear

The story of

Two gods alike

The goddess of love

Kingdoms away

So far from each other

The world's ever first

Long-distance lovers

It's the tale of Venus

And Aphrodite

I'm known to lose my thoughts

But my memory is tidy

It's a story that I love

And a story I know well

Listen to me close

So you can hear me tell

No farther than a neighbour

Across the sea

Met at a party

For deities

They fell in love

Upon first glance

Kept apart by the brawls

Of silly men

Rumors told

Rumors said

Of the first embrace

These lovers shared

Their beauties combined

And shone a great light

Brought an end to the dark

In the dead of night

Worshiped by Greeks

For love war and beauty

They got down on their knees and prayed, "Aphrodite,"

"Promise me true love

And promise me I win

Against all my enemies

That try to make me sin

Promise me I'm pretty promise me the sea

Promise me the Romans finally set us free

Oh promise me the Romans finally set us free"

Similar to her

Rome had Venus

their prayers just as shallow

And their words just as meanless

"Promise my desires

Promise me the west

No matter the cost

Even if it's death

Promise me a target and promise me a dime

Promise me the Greeks finally abide"

So against their own wills

At war with each other

God fighting god

And brother fighting brother

Long story short

It's a tale age as old

Love ruined by men

Who fight and who fold

Even the gods

Are hurt by our actions

It's a little more

Than the law of attraction
