[Orpheus]

King of shadow

King of shades
            
Hades was king

        
 of the Underw

orld
            
But he fell in

              
 love with a b

   
eautiful lady
            
Who walked up 

              
above in her m

       
other's green 

field
            
He fell in lov

          
e with Perseph

one
            
Who was gather

              
ing flowers in

              
 the light of 

    
the sun
            
And he took he

              
r home to beco

       
me his queen
          
Where the sun 

never shone
   
On anyone

[Hermes]

Go on...

[Orpheus]
            
The lady loved

             
 him and the k

But without he

              
r above, not o

   
ne flower woul

d grow
            
So King Hades 

              
agreed that fo

              
r half of each

 
 year
            
She would stay

              
 with him ther

         
e in his world

 down below
            
But the other 

              
half, she coul

       
d walk in the 

sun
            
And the sun, i

              
n turn, burned

      
 twice as brig

ht
            
Which is where

             
 the seasons c

ome from
            
And with them,

     
 the cycle
            
Of the seed an

      
d the sickle
            
And the lives 

       
of the people
        
And the birds
