Aphrodite
Ash · Nu-Clear Sounds
On these shores
Fell in love
With Aphrodite
Her dark power
In my heart
In my heart
Feel it now her beauty never ends
As dark falls
On these shores
On this earth
Feel like a stranger
Getting lost
Such a cost
As I fall
Is my heart deceiving even me
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
How can I tell you what's in my mind
How can I say when it's all so bad
Feel so weak
Feel so tired
Oh so tired
Feel my heart deceiving even me
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
So tell me what else could I do
Instead of replacing her with you
So tell me what else could I be
I found darkness inside me
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
I don't know about much yeah baby
All I know about is desire baby
