Helen of Troy

If I'm the flame, you're fuel to the fire
You're the one I choose and desire
I would never accuse you a liar
'Cuz I can see the truth in your smile
You're the one I truly admire
The muse I use to get higher
Your type of beauty inspires
Wars, movements, and empires

She's Helen of Troy. She's meant to destroy you
Whether you're born a rebel or royal
The face that launched a thousand ships
She'll cry you a river just to drown you in

Her love is a Trojan horse
Make you suffer with no remorse
Her face can send foes to war
Shape and control the course
Of history on this planet
No mystery and no magic
It simply seems she's a magnet
For malicious fiends and fanatics
The type of love you would kill for
That blood will be spilled for
That empires are built for
The pious will sin for
She's humble and honest
The subject of sonnets
She puzzles the prophets
The puppets, the pompous
From Pompeii to Compton
She'll crumble your conscience
Everyone who's ever loved her has lost it

She's Helen of Troy. She's meant to destroy you
Whether you're born a rebel or royal
She can break a million hearts
You'll probably die in her arms
She's Helen of Troy. She's meant to destroy you
Whether you're born a rebel or royal
The face that launched a thousand ships
She'll cry you a river just to drown you in

Her love is a deadly sword
That'll cut while you beg for more
Her face can send friends to war
Reshape and upend the norm
She can change your life as you know it
Rearrange and rewrite what was spoken
She portrays a kindness and coldness
Yet she betrays the likeness of poets
The type of love you would die for
A drug to get high more
That diamonds will shine for
And tyrants preside for
She's gorgeous and gracious
She torments the tasteless
She tortures and trains them
Torches and tames them
From Florence to Cambridge
At her core, she just craves it
Everyone who gave her more has been maimed quick

She's Helen of Troy. She's meant to destroy you
Whether you're born a rebel or royal
She can break a million hearts
You'll probably die in her arms
She's Helen of Troy. She's meant to destroy you
Whether you're born a rebel or royal
The face that launched a thousand ships
She'll cry you a river just to drown you in

If I'm the flame, you're fuel to the fire
You're the one I choose and desire
I would never accuse you a liar
'Cuz I can see the truth in your smile
You're the one I truly admire
The muse I use to get higher
Your type of beauty inspires
Wars, movements, and empires

She's Helen of Troy. She's meant to destroy you
Whether you're born a rebel or royal
She can break a million hearts
You'll probably die in her arms
She's Helen of Troy. She's meant to destroy you
Whether you're born a rebel or royal
The face that launched a thousand ships
She'll cry you a river just to drown you in
