Athene

Oooo hoo La La x 4

Verse 1

You’ve been hidden far too long,

deep inside my soul.

A goddess waiting to sing your song,

out of the grip of control.

Come out of your cage now,

And give me your hand.

Spread your wings, ancient child

Come to those who understand.

Chorus

Athene open your eyes,

There’s no need to hide anymore.

Athene come out and play,

no one is blocking the door.

There’s no more barbed wire,

Cutting into your flesh.

No haunted lovers eyes,

Causing you to regress.

Spread your wings,

Come out of hibernation.

Share your wisdom

With no reservation.

Verse 2

Your lover swore devotion,

And gave you a name.

But when you tried to use it,

She called you insane.

You sewed your mouth shut,

With invisible thread.

To keep your beloved,

You had to play dead.

Repeat chorus

Bridge

It took me a while to realize

That you were there all the time.

For love of another I tried to hide you.

Now I won’t leave you behind.

My soul

My beauty

My soul

My queen

My home

Inside me

My soul

Athene

Verse 3

Welcome to your resurrection,

The banquet table awaits

It’s time for the feast of the soul.

No carnivore is stalking you.

No heretic is mocking you.

It’s time for the bells to toll

My soul

My beauty

My soul

My queen

My home

Inside me

My soul

Athene

It’s time for the bells to toll

Announce the arrival of a long hidden queen

Make room for the goddess

Athene.
