	[HERMES, spoken]
	Where'd you get that melody?
	[ORPHEUS]
	I don’t know
	It came to me
	As if I'd known it all along
	[HERMES]
	(spoken)
	You have
	It's an old song
	(sung)
	A song of love from long ago
	Long-time since I heard it though
	[ORPHEUS, spoken]
	You’ve heard that melody before?
	[HERMES, spoken]
	Sure
	[ORPHEUS, spoken]
	Tell me more
	[HERMES, spoken]
	Remember the tale I told you once about the Gods?
	[ORPHEUS, spoken]
	Which ones?
	[HERMES, spoken]
	Hades and Persephone
	Remember how it used to be
	Their love that made the world go round?
	[ORPHEUS, spoken]
	Yeah, I remember now
	But that was long ago
	[HERMES, spoken]
	Tell it again though
	[ORPHEUS]
	King of shadows
	King of shades
	Hades was king of the Underworld
	But he fell in love with a beautiful lady
	Who walked up above in her mother's green field
	He fell in love with Persephone
	Who was gathering flowers in the light of the sun
	And he took her home to become his queen
	Where the sun never shone
	On anyone
	[HERMES, spoken]
	Go on...
	[ORPHEUS]
	The lady loved him and the kingdom they shared
	But without her above, not one flower would grow
	So King Hades agreed that for half of each year
	She would stay with him there in his world down below
	But the other half, she could walk in the sun
	And the sun, in turn, burned twice as bright
	Which is where the seasons come from
	And with them, the cycle
	Of the seed and the sickle
	And the lives of the people
	And the birds in their flight
	[HERMES]
	Singing...
	[ORPHEUS]
	La la la la la la la...
	[HERMES, spoken]
	Down below and up above
	[ORPHEUS]
	La la la la la la la...
	[HERMES, spoken]
	In harmony and rhythm
	[ORPHEUS]
	La la la la la la la...
	[HERMES, spoken]
	The Gods sang his song of love
	[ORPHEUS]
	La la la la la la la...
	[HERMES]
	(spoken)
	And the world sang it with them
	(sung)
	But that was long ago
	Before we were on this road
