Lyrics The Goddess And The Slave - Petra Berger

The Goddess And The Slave

Happiness is just a gift of birth — for some
Sorrow a curse that can blight heartlessly — with pain
You sought your luck in another’s eyes — in vain
Giving your all — in pursuit of his love
You were imprisoned by fate and your fame
Haunted by your loneliness — so
How could you be the diva — strong — go on
The goddess and the slave in one?
Passion — your Pascha
The man that you loved — too strong
Your heart had sheltered the cry too long
You sacrificed all those years of your life
Left out in the wilderness — so
How could you be the diva — strong — go on
The goddess and the slave?
How could you be the diva — strong — and carry on
The goddess and the slave?
Your destiny
Doomed to be
One more Greek tragedy
Haunted by your loneliness — so
How could you be the diva — strong — go on
The goddess and the slave?
