Wait for Me (”If you wanna walk out of hell...”) [Intro]

Lyrics

[ORPHEUS, spoken] What is it? [HERMES, spoken] Well, the good news is, he said that you can go [ORPHEUS & EURYDICE, spoken] He did? [WORKERS, spoken] He did? [HERMES, spoken] He did. There's bad news though [EURYDICE, spoken] What is it? [HERMES, spoken] You can walk, but it won't be like you planned [ORPHEUS, spoken] What do you mean? [EURYDICE, spoken] Why not? [HERMES, spoken] Well, you won't be hand in hand You won't be arm in arm, side by side, and all of that He said you have to walk in front, and she has to walk in back [ORPHEUS, spoken] Why? [HERMES, spoken] And if you turn around to make sure she's coming too Then she goes back to Hadestown and ain't nothing you can do [EURYDICE, spoken] But why? [HERMES, spoken] Why build walls, make folks walk single file? Divide and conquer's what it's called [ORPHEUS] It's a trap [HERMES, spoken] It's a trial Do you trust each other? Do you trust yourselves? [ORPHEUS & EURYDICE, spoken] We do [HERMES, spoken] Well, listen, brother If you want to walk out of hell You're gonna have to prove it before gods and men Can you do that? [ORPHEUS & EURYDICE, spoken] We can [HERMES, spoken] A'ight, time to go! [ORPHEUS, spoken] Mr. Hermes? [HERMES, spoken] Yes? [ORPHEUS] It's not a trick? [HERMES, spoken] No, it's a test
