Maidens' Hymn

[Intro] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Aphrodite, hear our voice Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh [Verse 1] We were lost in the tide of unblessed days Our hands empty, our songs just silent phrase Then your light broke through the marble and the mist Called us by name, where the myrtle twists Fifteen hearts, like doves released from cage Borne on the breath of your golden age [Chorus] Aphrodite, we sing your praise For weaving us into your sunlit haze Gilded robes upon our humble frame We are your maids, we bear your name Aphrodite, hear our grateful cry Beneath your skies, we’ll never die Our voices lift, a celestial hymn For the grace that let our service begin [Verse 2] We tend your roses where the zephyrs play Polish your mirrors where the tides hold sway We string your pearls from the ocean’s deep Kneel at your feet while the stars still sleep You turned our longing to a sacred vow To walk with you through the sacred bough [Chorus] Aphrodite, we sing your praise For weaving us into your sunlit haze Gilded robes upon our humble frame We are your maids, we bear your name Aphrodite, hear our grateful cry Beneath your skies, we’ll never die Our voices lift, a celestial hymn For the grace that let our service begin [Bridge] No more shadows, no more empty nights We are bathed in your eternal light Fifteen voices, one unbroken song To the one where all true beauty belongs [Outro] Aphrodite, Aphrodite We are yours, now and evermore Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
