The first part of a song I started this morning circa five-thirty ante-meridian. Recorded it on GarageBand with the "Epic Diva" vocal setting - tee-hee.

Lyrics:


I was Hera when you left me
Athena in the light
Venus when I needed you
Io that last night

I was Daphne when you came around
Selene in your eyes
Medusa when you’d had enough
Herse when I cried 

And you thought you were Zeus
With that shock in your hand
So you threw it at me 
I tried so hard to stand

Up when you struck me down
Held me pinned to the bed
Breathing ice you erased
Every word that you’d said 

I was Chaos that next morning
Phoebe just the same
Thesis while you’re fast asleep
Rhea when you came

I was Themis with my reasoning
Mnemosyne in my guile 
Tethys when I held my tears
Theia with my smile

And you thought you were Zeus
With that shock in your hand
So you threw it at me 
I tried so hard to stand

Up when you struck me down
Held me pinned to the bed
Breathing ice you erased
Every word that you’d said

I was competing in a thing where my prompt was "nation" and I'd just seen Hamilton. No one asked me to write rhymes or rhythm, but I'd just seen Hamilton. Rather than recruit someone to do this recording... you're stuck with my stilted delivery.
