[PERSEPHONE] Hades, my husband, Hades, my light Hades, my darkness If you had heard how he sang tonight You’d pity poor Orpheus! All of his sorrow won’t fit in his chest It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest How long, how long, how long?
[HADES] How long? Just as long as Hades is King Nothing comes of wishing on stars And nothing comes of the songs people sing However sorry they are Give them a piece and they’ll take it all Show them the crack and they’ll tear down the wall Lend them an ear and the Kingdom will fall The Kingdom will fall for a song
[PERSEPHONE] What 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 girl!
[HADES] You and your pity don’t fit in my bed You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed How long, how long, how long?
[PERSEPHONE] How long? Just as long as I am your wife It’s true the earth must die But then the earth comes back to life And the sun just goes on rising
[HADES & PERSEPHONE] And how does the sun even fit in the sky? It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky How long, how long, how long?Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
