It hurt me, to see her broken,
Her cries they haunt,
My every waking thought,
I am left to reminisce,
To times when she was,
My embodiment of strength,
My sweet Aphrodite,

'Twas greedy of you reaper,
To rip her from me,
You forced her drink,
Of your bitter potion,
Her soul totters  on the brink,
Of your tenuous maw,

To what ends must you take?
Oh faceless one,
Whose name I dare not utter,
Bring back my beloved,
From whence you took her,

You take and take and take,
Oh taker of men,
For once return,
Return mine love to me
