PERSEPHONEHades, my husband, Hades, my lightHades, my darknessIf you had heard how he sang tonightYou'd pity poor Orpheus!All of his sorrow won't fit in his chestIt just burns like a fire in the pit of his chestAnd his heart is a bird on a spit in his chestHow long, how long, how long?HADESHow long? Just as long as Hades is KingNothing comes of wishing on starsAnd nothing comes of the songs people singHowever sorry they areGive them a piece and they'll take it allShow them the crack and they'll tear down the wallLend them an ear and the Kingdom will fallThe Kingdom will fall for a songPERSEPHONEWhat 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 girlSongtexteHADESYou and your pity don't fit in my bedYou just burn like a fire in the pit of my bedAnd I turn like a bird on a spit in my bedHow long, how long, how long?PERSEPHONEHow long? Just as long as I am your wifeIt's true the earth must dieBut then the earth comes back to lifeAnd the sun just goes on risingHADES & PERSEPHONEAnd how does the sun even fit in the sky?It just burns like a fire in the pit of the skyAnd the earth is a bird on a spit in the skyHow long, how long, how long?
