[Verse 1] Hera traced the scorch marks on the marble floor Counted every absence like a wound she'd worn before Zeus promised thunder only falls where it's deserved She learned that oaths from kings are just the lies preserved [Pre-Chorus] We carve our names in temples that we'll burn Call it fate when we refuse to learn [Chorus] Ichor runs but never bleeds us clean We're holy and we're hollow in between Every vow's a weapon, every kiss a war Immortal just means time to break you more [Verse 2] Aphrodite sold devotion wrapped in honeyed thread Hephaestus built her altars while she warmed another's bed Ares left his armor tangled in her sheets And the smith kept forging chains for gods who'd never meet [Chorus] Ichor runs but never bleeds us clean We're holy and we're hollow in between Every vow's a weapon, every kiss a war Immortal just means time to break you more [Verse 3] Persephone bit the fruit because the dark felt like a choice Six seeds for six months silent from her mother's searching voice Demeter turned the harvest into grief the world would share Winter is a mother learning love can't keep you there [Bridge] Orpheus looked back because he couldn't bear the proof That faith without a witness is just another roof Collapsing in the underworld where every song's a plea You don't lose someone once, you lose them endlessly [Chorus] Ichor runs but never bleeds us clean We're holy and we're hollow in between Every vow's a weapon, every kiss a war Immortal just means time to break you more [Outro] The old hymns never mention how the gods grew tired How they loved in circles, caught in what they'd wired Somewhere past Olympus, past the myths we tell Even the divine are just prisoners of themselves © 2026 Project ∞X.
