I Choose Life
..
The garden of sunset it seems so far away
Living with my sisters along the edge of day
Harder than diamonds and stronger than the sea
The nymphs of sunset, the Hesperides
We were dispassionate and even cruel
I helped no one but you, but you
You said you loved me and I was a fool
Never trust a hero to tell the truth
..
I betrayed them all, gave you Riptide
They threw me out, no place to hide
I wandered in the wild lands
No human voice or human hands
I came to Athens, the city of light
And looked for you until one night
Saw you with a girl she had it made
A mortal girl and I'd been played
..
Walked into the ocean and waited to die
I never thought I'd be the type for suicide
Then I closed my eyes against a sudden shine
Never try to die beside a goddess's shrine
Forsake mortality she said in a moonlight voice
To die heartbroken is your other choice
I made my vows as a Hunter then
And I'll never, never love again
