The Throne - Red 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 [PERSEPHONE] A child in a garden A prise for a king, property Bound and gagged With silver and satin I gutted a god This hell is mine I won't let it be forgotten Forgotten [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] What's your problem with Persephone? [ORPHEUS] Dow-dow-dow, loop it! I didn't do what I was told Didn't know that it was all a game I didn't think that he would do it Then Eurydice was gone And Persephone you stood right beside him And said, "What a shame" He was always gonna kill her and you knew it And never got to... [ORPHEUS, SPIRITS, ORPHEUS & SPIRITS] Have my revenge (You took it all Persephone) My pain never ends (My only enemy) I see you now, Persephone Won't turn my back (I won't turn my back) Won't turn my back (I won't turn my back) On you again! [GRACE] I beg your pardon? I wanna behave properly It's not your song You better stay open She's a friend, and a god [PERSEPHONE, ORPHEUS, PERSEPHONE & ORPHEUS] That throne is for me, I won't let it be Forgotten Persephone, your part in this will never be Forgotten [GRACE] Corpses in crowns, tangled and trapped Eyes full of cobwebs, only lookin' back Don't you see what I see? Looks all dead to me You're both the same [PERSEPHONE, spoken] The same? [ORPHEUS, spoken] I like what you're doing, Muse, but I thought you'd be on my side [PERSEPHONE] The bard is to blame for the hell that he's been in [ORPHEUS, spoken] Persephone, you're the reason I'm here. I'm not here to give in [PERSEPHONE, spoken] Oh, you think I will? [GRACE] Can I get this through both of your heads? You're fighting over something that's dead! I mean, you shoulda seen this coming [PERSEPHONE, spoken] There's no point in reasoning with him, Grace [ORPHEUS, spoken] Oh, I believe she was speaking to us both [PERSEPHONE, spoken] Certainly wish I'd seen you coming [GRACE] We made a bargain, now I doubt everything Promise me, you're not using me I told you, we're here for Freddie We're wasting our time! [ORPHEUS] Child, cannot see [PERSEPHONE] We can't let it be... [PERSEPHONE & ORPHEUS] Forgotten! Forgotten! Forgotten! Forgotten! [GRACE] You didn't do what you were told But you won't face the fact that you're to blame And Persephone you blew it You must understand each other by now All of this is getting kinda old What a shame There's the door, walk through it [ORPHEUS] But I never got to Have my revenge [PERSEPHONE] Our pain never ends [ORPHEUS] Our pain never ends [PERSEPHONE] Orpheus, I promise you now, belatedly I won't turn my back [PERSEPHONE & ORPHEUS] I won't turn my back on you again
