Thank you guys! Sorry forgot to mention it!…. Her name is Martina Astner! :) this song is more hypnotic and slow but one of their more popular songs as you know these sort of songs hit the ‘neutral’ harder on a first time listen. I normally let you know the mythology. Here it goes! “Birth of Venus Illegitima" by Therion is a tribute to the goddess of love, Aphrodite. The song speaks to the forbidden nature of love, and how it often leads to transgressions and sins. The lyrics suggest that Aphrodite is born again to experience love, without shame or fear of judgement, while also acknowledging that this kind of love exists outside of traditional morality. The song celebrates the beauty and power of love, despite its status as something that is often considered illicit or taboo. Ultimately, Venus illegitima is a reminder that love is essential and powerful, no matter its form.” Here are the lyrics: Aphrodite is rising from the shell, a newly born To be seen, to expel from the paradise To drink from her well Aphrodite is falling into the hell of her sins And the lust from that spell of the forbidden Nectar from her well Oh, Venus Illegitima (born again) Oh, Venus Illegitima (without shame) Oh, Venus Illegitima (child of sin) Oh, Venus Illegitima (is my name) Aphrodite is rising from the shell, a newly born To be seen, to expel from the paradise To drink from her well Aphrodite is falling into the hell of her sins And the lust from that spell of the forbidden Nectar from her well Oh, Venus Illegitima (born again) Oh, Venus Illegitima (without shame) Oh, Venus Illegitima (child of sin) Oh, Venus Illegitima (is my name) Oh, Venus Illegitima Oh, Venus Illegitima
