The Throne - Green Edition

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 Freddie, too... [PERSEPHONE, spoken] I killed the king, fair and square. They 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... We might have a problem A wolf is waiting in the tune This bard's already dead Someone's coming... But you can defeat him I can feel them howling at the moon With my help 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! [ORPHEUS] I have nothing but a dark and empty hole Wanting something to fill a shallow soul I am their king, the king of constant sorrow With a throne room [PERSEPHONE, spoken] It's not your throne Orpheus [ORPHEUS, spoken] It will be until you admit you were wrong! [PERSEPHONE] I wouldn't go there, it's too much for you And I'm not sorry for your mistake [GRACE] Orpheus, have you wondered if this queen was a slave? She couldn't help, you dug your own grave! And now it's her homecoming [ORPHEUS, spoken] Oh yes, yeah, she was a helplesss prisoner all those centuries! [PERSEPHONE, spoken] What do you know of it, bard? [ORPHEUS, spoken] I know a fairytale when I hear one [PERSEPHONE] It wasn't your fault, you were never to blame Hades was a monster, we were part of his game Orpheus, where is your fire? When will the music return? [ORPHEUS] The candle isn't finished, it's a slow burn [PERSEPHONE] It's a slow burn [ORPHEUS & PERSEPHONE] It's a slow burn [GRACE, spoken] That throne doesn't belong to you and you know it [PERSEPHONE] We all throw our secrets into the water The shoreline is littered with every regret [ORPHEUS] I'm not too proud of all that's washed up here I'll put it behind me [PERSEPHONE] And I won't forget, you're letting it go And I won't forget
