XV THE DEVIL

Lyrics based on a poem by Sappho, 7th century BC. 
Song dedicated to my grand daughter Ares.

I loved you, Ares, years ago,
Back when my world was all in bloom,
You were awkward, small, and quiet —
Still, you lit up every room.

[Pre-Chorus]
You were weaving crocus flowers,
Lying soft against my side.
Braided blooms into your hair,
You were blushing, couldn’t hide.

[Chorus]
I want — I prayed —
Let these days never fade.
No woods, no dance, no sacred place
Where we didn’t leave our trace.

[Verse 2]
Twice, I watched in quiet wonder,
Didn’t speak your name out loud.
You anointed arms and shoulders,
Like a goddess in a cloud.

[Pre-Chorus]
There was magic in the silence,
There was fire in your gaze.
I would trade a thousand lifetimes
Just to double all our days.

[Chorus]
I want — I prayed —
Let these days never fade.
And someone — someone
Will remember us,
Even if time turns dust to dust.

[Bridge]
Even in another time,
When our names are just a sound,
Someone’s heart will beat in rhythm
With the love that we had found.

[Outro]
So if the stars forget our skies,
And every petal turns to rust —
Still I know,
Someone will remember us.

Ares
