The Ritual - Red Edition Lyrics by Austin Wintory, Tripod
Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical (Red Edition) [Original Game Soundtrack]
2023
[APHRODITE, spoken] We let them rise We let it happen We waited far too long We thought we shouldn't intervene We were wrong We were wrong (sung) Since the beginning, we were hidden We held court from up above T'was the Golden Age of reason And I, the Queen of Love But a plague of hate was spreading And there werе vultures standing by Before wе fell to our knees begging We fell from the sky We let them rise We let it happen We waited far too long We thought we shouldn't intervene We were wrong We were wrong Our so-called brother Ares Sold his soul forever more He so loved the military He became their Dog of War He denounced his loving family And with mortal guns and greed On a plate gladly delivered Everything that war-dogs need He betrayed us and we let him With their mortal souls long gone We thought we were untouchable We were wrong, we were wrong I can feel we have the vigor of an Idol coming in Be wary as they find you too and tear you limb from limb Torture you and spit at you, parade you in a square I thought my life was over Then a god answered my prayer The man that I ignored saved me when I fell Yes, the husband I abhorred rescued me from hell I thought it was a joke when it was said to me He struck a deal with our enemy's enemy Made a secret weapon so my captors let me go He gave up his freedom, leaving just a memory And this love I'll never know is what he gave to me [GRACE] I gotta say that I'm amazed I held my tongue for so long Not such a fan of this whole plan, but who's to say that you're wrong? Now, should a god erase a memory When there's no chance of changing history? [CROWD] Ch-ch-ch-change [GRACE, GRACE & CROWD] This guy who sacrificed his life so you could live in his place Wish he'd drop by, 'cause man I'd die to see the look on his face You try to hide from your reality, but then come back with regularity And if you notice a disparity, then what's the meaning of his legacy? [CROWD] Everybody! [GRACE] Who gives a damn about your suffering? [CROWD] Everybody! [GRACE] Who wants to see you be yourself again? [CROWD] Everybody! [GRACE] Who feels your pain, in case you're wondering? [CROWD] Everybody! [GRACE] You got the time but it's st-stuttering [GRACE & CROWD] Everybody! [GRACE] Wants to see you fall in love [APHRODITE] I can't place your face, so let me give you a hand An Idol should embrace the things they don't understand And you don't get it My mind's a falling city, buildings crumbling down What is more the pity, all I hear is the sound Bombs blanketing the ground A screaming so profound And you want to play around Well, you offend [CROWD] Everybody! [APHRODITE] Is insulted by your acrimony [CROWD] Everybody! [APHRODITE] Want to wallow in my testimony [CROWD] Everybody! [APHRODITE] So who is ready for a ceremony? [CROWD] Everybody! [APHRODITE] I'll be siding with the "everybodies"! [CROWD] Everybody! [EROS & GRACE] Wants to see you fall in love [EROS] I'd never thought you'd let it get this way I've stood by, watching what we've built decay We're just pretending that the ending is near Mother, isn't it clear? Your family's here [CROWD] Everybody! [EROS] Can see the agony you're going through [CROWD] Everybody! [EROS] Knows a goddess is inside of you [CROWD] Everybody! [EROS] Keeps repeating what they're meant to do [CROWD] Everybody! [EROS] I've got to stop it just to prove to you [CROWD] Everybody! [EROS & GRACE] Wants to see you fall in love [CROWD] Everybody! [APHRODITE] Who's gonna help me overcome the war? [CROWD & GRACE] Everybody! [APHRODITE] Who's gonna be there when I'm on the floor? [CROWD & GRACE] Everybody! [APHRODITE] Who's gonna cry when i walk out the door? [CROWD & GRACE] Everybody! [APHRODITE] 'Cause I'm not gonna do this anymore [CROWD, GRACE & APHRODITE] Everybody! [APHRODITE] Wants to see you, wants to see you Fall in love Again
