[Intro] [Lyre and acoustic guitar, modal scale] [Spoken, discovering, broken] Purple petals where your blood fell Marked with "AI"—my cry of grief (ahhhhh) [Verse 1 - Rap delivery] I'm a god, supposed to heal But I couldn't save you when I held you close (Hmmmmmm) Tried every herb, every prayer Even ambrosia couldn't bring you back (Ohhhhhhhhh) We were throwing discus by the stream You laughed, ran after it like always (Hmmmmmmmmm) But it bounced off the earth Hit you hard, brought you to your knees (Ohhhhhhhhh) [Pre-Chorus - THE HOOK] From your blood, a flower grows (Hmmmmmmm) Purple petals, no one knows How a god can love this deep How immortals learn to weep (ohhhhh) [Chorus - Belt, powerful] I'd trade my lyre, trade my light (Hmmmmmm) Give up prophecy, give up sight (Oh oh oh ohhhhh) Just to hear you laugh one more time (Hmmmm, oh, ohhhhh) But all I've got is this flower and your memory And the weight of immortality (ahhhhh) From your blood, a flower From my grief, forever (ohhhhh) [Verse 2 - Rap, building] Spartan prince, perfect form I left Delphi just to know you (Hmmmmmmm) Taught you my bow, showed you stars Took you in my chariot to sacred lands ( ohhhhh) Zephyrus wanted you too Boreas, Thamyris—you were never alone (Hmmmmmm) But you chose me (Oh oh ohhhhh) And I killed you…how can this be? (ahhhhh) [Pre-Chorus - THE HOOK, desperate] From your blood, a flower grows (Ohhhhhh) Purple petals, sorrow shows How a god can break like glass How forever doesn't pass (ohhhhh) [Chorus - Full power] I'd trade my throne on Mount Olympus (Oh oh ohhhhh) Trade the sun that I command (Hmmmmmm) Just to hold your face between my hands (ohhhhh) But all I've got is this flower and the knowledge That I robbed you of your youth (ahhhhh) From your blood, a flower From my love, this torture (ohhhhh) [Bridge - Tempo faster, rage] [Beat drops, aggressive] ZEPHYRUS! (Zephyrus!) I KNOW WHAT YOU DID! (Ohhhh Ah Ah!) Jealous wind god couldn't stand to see him happy Blew my discus off deliberately (Ohhhhh ah ah!) Murdered him 'cause he didn't choose your love (Ohhhhh ah ah!) I could've made him immortal Could've taken him to Olympus with me But your jealousy decided He'd die at seventeen (Hmmmmmmmmmmmm) [Drop - grief beneath rage] He was seventeen... (so young, ohhhhh) [Final Chorus - Devastated, stripped] [Just lyre and guitar] I'd trade immortality itself (trade it all) Just to die beside you in the dirt (beside you, ohhhhh) But gods don't choose when suffering ends We just carry it forward (forever, ahhhhh) From your blood, a flower blooms each spring (Ahhhhh ah ahhhh) From my grief, the world remembers (We remember you) Every purple petal marked with my cry "AI, AI"—alas, alas (alas, ohhhhh) [Outro - Fading] [Lyre alone, whispered] I'll mourn you every single day (every day) Immortal grief doesn't fade away (doesn't fade, ahhhhh) From your blood, a flower From my love, forever sorrow (forever, ohhhhh) [Whisper] Hyacinthus... [Silence] [End]
