[00:12.830] | Heavy and hard is the heart of the king |
[00:17.770] | King of iron, king of steel |
[00:22.800] | The heart of the king loves everything |
[00:26.880] | Like the hammer loves the nail |
[00:33.430] | But the heart of a man is a simple one |
[00:38.320] | Small and soft, flesh and blood |
[00:43.870] | And all that it loves is a woman |
[00:49.800] | A woman is all that it loves |
[00:53.840] | And Hades is king of the scythe and the sword |
[00:59.540] | He covers the world in the color of rust |
[01:05.090] | He scrapes the sky and scars the earth |
[01:09.689] | And he comes down heavy and hard on us |
[01:15.040] | But even that hardest of hearts unhardened |
[01:20.810] | Suddenly, when he saw her there |
[01:26.620] | Persephone in her mother’s garden |
[01:30.870] | Sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair |
[01:36.140] | The smell of the flowers she held in her hand |
[01:41.360] | And the pollen that fell from her fingertips |
[01:46.650] | And suddenly Hades was only a man |
[01:53.080] | With a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing: |
[01:57.420] | La la la la la la la… |
[00:12.830] | Heavy and hard is the heart of the king |
[00:17.770] | King of iron, king of steel |
[00:22.800] | The heart of the king loves everything |
[00:26.880] | Like the hammer loves the nail |
