Hades & Persephone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hades, my husband, Hades, my light Hades, my darkness If you had heard how he sang tonight You'd pity poor Orpheus [Chorus] All of his sorrow won't fit in his chest It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest How long? How long? How long? [Verse 2] How long? Just as long as Hades is king Nothing comes of wishing on stars Nothing comes of the songs people sing However sorry they are [Chorus] Give them a piece and they'll take it all Show them the crack and they'll tear down the wall Lend them an ear and the kingdom will fall The kingdom will fall for a song [Verse 3] What does he care for the logic of kings? The laws of your underworld? It is only for love that he sings He sings for the love of a girl [Chorus] You and your pity don't fit in my bed You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed How long? How long? How long? [Verse 4] How long? Just as long as I am your wife It's true the earth must die But then the earth comes back to life And the sun just goes on rising [Chorus] And how does the sun even fit in the sky? It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky How long? How long? How long?
