[PERSEPHONE]
BbHades, my husband, Hades, my light
Hades, my darkGmness
If you had heard how he sBbang tonight
You'd pity poor OGmrpheus!
All of his sorrow won't fDmit in his cDhest
It just buGmrns like a fire in the piBbt of his cheFst
And his heGmart is a bird on a sBbpit in his cheFst
HBbow long, how lFong, how Gmlong?
[HADES]
HoBbw long? Just as long as Hades is King
Nothing comes of Ebwishing on stGmars
And noBbthing comes of the songs people siBbng
However sorry they Gmare
GiGmve them a piece and theyDm'll take it Dall
ShGmow them the crack and they'll tBbear down the wFall
LeGmnd them an ear and the KBbingdom will Ffall
The BbKingdom will Ffall for a soGmng
[PERSEPHONE]
WBbhat does he care for the logic of kFings?
The laws of your underwoGmrld?
IBbt is only for love that he sinFgs!
He sings for the love of a gGmirl!
[HADES]
YoGmu and your pity don't fiDmt in my bDed
You just bGmurn like a fire in the pBbit of my bFed
And I tuGmrn like a bird on a sBbpit in my Fbed
How Bblong, how loFng, how loGmng?
[PERSEPHONE]
HoBbw long? Just as long as I am your wiCfe
It's true the earth must Gmdie
But then the earth comes back to liCfe
And the sun just goes on riGmsing
[HADES & PERSEPHONE]
And hGmow does the sun even fDmit in the Dsky?
It just burGmns like a fire in the Bbpit of the sDmky
And the eaGmrth is a bird on a sBbpit in the sAmky
How Bblong, how lDong, how loGmng?
