What will you do when she drinks the sea?
Drown her in sorrow or let her be free?
When she's upset, all of her heart is cold (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
What will you do when she eats the moon?
Make her return it or give her a spoon?
When she is full, all of her heart is warm (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
The mother made us a savage daughter
Who never begs for forgiveness
I always wondered why they all
Came back for more
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
What will you do when shе takes your throne?
Beg for hеr power or throw her a bone?
All that she has traded for love is yours (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
What will you do when she takes off her clothes?
Beg for her body or touch your soul?
When you're alone, dreaming of her, you sigh (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
The mother made us a savage daughter
Who never begs for forgiveness
I always wondered why they all
Came back for more
The gods have made us a virgin hunter
Who in a storm becomes stillness
I always wondered why they all
Came back for more
Came back for more

Q&A
Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
I wanted the song to feel slightly dangerous and slightly seductive but overwhelming as well. I think if Artemis was a real woman here on earth, she would be all-consuming and all-knowing and overwhelming, everything and nothing at the same time. I think she is the kind of woman that if she decided that she was thirsty, she could drink all of the water on the whole planet and still not be full, you know?
