The Throne

Lyrics

[PERSEPHONE] I wouldn't touch that Way too much for you Overload you, blow a fuse Every story, ever memory winds up here, in the water I used to dream that this river would rise Swallow the anger, tears in my eyes Then suddenly, I was found alone I destroyed Hades, but was denied his throne [GRACE, spoken] It really is dead here, isn't it? [PERSEPHONE, spoken] Everything here is fading away. She needs her queen [GRACE, spoken] We're here for Freddi5, too... [PERSEPHONE, spoken] I killed the king, fair and square. Th5y had no right to take to take it from me [GRACE] It wasn't your fault, there was no right or wrong It wasn't your fault you didn't belong If my life was stolen, I wouldn't know where to turn Candle isn't finished, it's a slow burn [ORPHEUS] Someone's coming... There's music floating through Someone's coming and it has me singing too We have visitors! I think we all know what to do To the throne room! This bard's about to meet a Muse [GRACE, spoken] There's someone singing with us [PERSEPHONE, spoken] That would be Orpheus [GRACE, spoken] Is he a Muse? [PERSEPHONE, spoken] Oh, he's so much more than that [ORPHEUS, PERSEPHONE & GRACE] Someone's coming... I didn't belong here A wolf is waiting in the tune But that throne belongs to me Someone's coming... No one deserves it more than I do I can feel them howling at the moon Don't forget why we came here There's a name here I won't forget That reeks of enemy (But you can bet he knows) [PERSEPHONE & ORPHEUS] Someone's coming... [ORPHEUS, spoken] It's about time, Persephone [PERSEPHONE] Orpheus! I've been... (spoken) What-what happened to the music? [SPIRITS, spoken] (Oh, so cool...) [ORPHEUS, spoken] I have been waiting for you, Persephone... for so long And you brought a Muse! Hi! Lovely tune, by the way Can't remember the last time I collaborated with someone so talented No offense, Benny [SPIRITS, spoken] Hey! [ORPHEUS, spoken] Welcome to my Underworld Let me treat you to a song. A welcome gift I have the floor. It is mine, after all Muse, any requests? Questions? [GRACE, spoken] My friend is dead. Can you help me? [ORPHEUS] Hmph! (Hums) Loop! The river keeps secrets deep in the water How far do you sink till you're buried below? I challenged the Fates and found my Eurydice But you had to kill her, and I won't let it go (spoken) You're asking the wrong person [GRACE] It wasn't your fault, how were you to react? It wasn't your fault, now there's no turning back If my love was taken, I wouldn't where to turn Your candle isn't finished, it's a slow burn [PERSEPHONE] This t�te-�-t�te is over If he's the victim, what am I? [ORPHEUS] Queen, let's not lose our composure The Muse understands [PERSEPHONE] Well I won't comply! I'd rather die! The throne was stolen after I murdered the king You should be grateful and thank me for everything And yet you scream - like a boy you kick the ground I was a slave! [ORPHEUS, spoken] Eurydice is gone because you did nothing! [PERSEPHONE, spoken] Orpheus, there was nothing I could do! [ORPHEUS & PERSEPHONE] I saw your whispers: poison behind your king! It wasn't me! If I cannot have my revenge, you're the next best thing! [GRACE] His bark is louder than anyone's bite And he's no match for your godly might [PERSEPHONE] You're right killing is so unbecoming [ORPHEUS, spoken] That's never stopped you before [PERSEPHONE, spoken] I did what I had to, bard [ORPHEUS, spoken] As do I, my former queen, as do I [GRACE] It isn't your fault, Hades broke you both down It isn't your fault, this is a literal ghost town But you're forgetting Freddie, I just want her return [PERSEPHONE] Candle isn't finished, it's a slow burn [GRACE] It's a slow burn [PERSEPHONE] It's a slow burn [GRACE] You both exist somewhere on the border between real and imagined Though living the dead So how can this place be everything you dreamed of? You both deserve more, you must let it go You both deserve more than this stupid throne
