[PERSEPHONE, spoken] No, I've had enough He loves that girl, Hades
[HADES, spoken] Well, that's too bad
[PERSEPHONE, spoken] He has the kind of love for her that you and I once had
[HADES, spoken] The girl means nothing to me
[PERSEPHONE, spoken] I know, but she means everything to him
[HADES, spoken] So?
[PERSEPHONE, spoken] Let her go.
Hades, my husband Hades, my light Hades, my darkness If you had heard how he sang tonight You'd pity poor Orpheus
All of the 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, they'll take it all Show them a crack, 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 must go on rising
[HADES and 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.
