Satellites

Verse 1

Venus born on the half-shell

Beautiful, Aries fire and gold

Artemis, pale she makes the tides turn

But all her brilliance has been sold

There is no consolation prize

The nocturnal one turned to day

Burned his wings in the process

But he just wanted to play

Chorus

Loved by the sun

While the moon fades away

Gravity pulls

what I loved yesterday

There is no escape

The light is too blinding

But I know my place

I don’t need reminding

Verse 2

Like a moth to a flame

His lustful eyes are frozen

When her light begins to wane

He ponders what he’s chosen

Repeat chorus

Bridge

Two lights

One shines bright

Too bright it hurts my eyes

Two lights

They burn so bright

They are his satellites

Verse 3

Venus in her radiance

Is taking rule once more

She has her arms around him

While Artemis finds the door

In each turn of the planet

Only one can take the sky

But neither controls in whose arms

A mortal will lie.

Repeat chorus
