The sweetness of your smile melts my heart
The beauty of your face confounds me
The curves your body invite me
The sharpness of your tongue destroys me
Lady Aphrodite, enchantress of hearts
Bless us as we make our way
Be gentle with our souls
The fierceness of your face it binds me to you
The handsome features bewitch me
The strength of your body entices
The skill with sword and shield keeps me at bay
Lord Ares, seducer of love
Bless us as we make our way
Defend our fragile souls
