Cover art for Venus lyrics by Theatre of Tragedy

For gawd's sake, who speaks Latin nowadays. And unless you wish to attend Catholic mass in Latin, you'd do better knowing English:

Lying to my heart as many can see. The yearning for your beauty strikes me wretchedly.

Venus! - I thought you were my friend - Asking the heavens that you would send; As a disciple of a villain Did you know of the tragedy?

Now love from a maiden makes us whole. Love flies in from all sides grabbing at us with it's violent desire

Venus! - I thought you were my friend - Asking the heavens you would send; As a disciple of a villain Did you know of the tragedy?

Now love from a maiden makes us whole. Lying to my heart as many can see The yearning for your beauty strikes me wretchedly.

The lights of your eyes are absolutely like the sun, A wonderful beam, a light that endures forever.

That is very good! ...A light that endures darkness, but I like the translation forever, the English language is more gentle.
