The Third Temptation of Paris
They say love is the greatest thing in the world. It can conquer everything! Let’s take the story of the Trojan War for example. What is the real cause of it? Is it really just because of Helen’s beauty or is it because of love?
Maybe Helen’s beauty is more compelling than a vampire’s. That’s why men fought over her. They waged war against each other just to “own” her. Myth told us that Helen was already married to Menelaus. But, when Paris asked her to go with him to Troy, she ran away with him. This gives us the thought that maybe, Helen fell inlove with Paris.
Now, guys, why am I telling you this? We aren’t here to study about Greek Mythology. It's not like that. I just want to remind you the story of the Trojan War because I would like to share a song that tells something about it.
The Third Temptation of Paris is one of the greatest songs I heard from one of my favorite bands—Alesana. They write great songs and I think, they did a great job in writing this one. I know, Alesana is not the greatest band when it comes to all the screaming but I do love their songs when they do something like The Third Temptation of Paris. Their music is quite unique and I feel pulled into their songs. Maybe you are too!
Here is “The Third Temptation of Paris’” lyrics:
Paris knew that he will be causing great trouble to Troy, yet he still kept Helen with him. He never thought of letting Helen go. Isn’t it great when someone like Paris will love you and is willing to take all the consequences just to be with you?
