CALL TO THE GODS
Venus, oh Venus
Come to my aid
As you have for so many others
My mouth is dry when I try to speak
To the very one I love
Cupid, Cupid
come and help
For I feel that I’m drowning
In the seas of self doubt
Hercules, oh Hercules,
Lift me out
Out of the sea
So that Neptune won’t capture me
