I wouldn’t touch that
Way too much for you
Overload you
Blow a fuse
Every story
Every memory
Winds up here
In the water
I used to dream
That this river would rise
Swallow the anger
Tears in my eyes
Then suddenly
I was found alone
I destroyed Hades
But was denied his throne
It really is dead here isn’t it?
Everything here is fading away. She needs her Queen.
Uh, we’re here for Freddie too.
I killed the king fair and square. They had no right to take it from me.
A child in a garden
A prize for a king
Property
Bound and gagged
With silver and satin
I gutted a god
This hell is mine
I won’t let it be
Forgotten
Forgotten
Someone’s coming
There’s music floating through
Someone’s coming
And it has me singing too
We have visitors!
I think we all know what to do
To the Throne Room
This bard’s about to meet a muse
There’s someone singing with us.
That would be Orpheus.
Is he a muse?
Oh, he’s so much more than that.
Someone’s coming (I didn’t belong here)
A wolf is waiting in the tune (But that throne belongs to me)
Someone’s coming (No one deserves it)
I can feel them howling at the moon (More than I)
Don’t forget why we came here
There’s a name here (I won’t forget)
That reeks of enemy (But you can bet he knows)
Someone’s coming
It’s about time, Persephone.
Orpheus I’ve been… What, what happened to the music?
(Oh! so cool!)
I have been waiting for you, Persephone, for so long.
And you brought a muse.
Hi... lovely tune by the way.
Can’t remember the last time I collaborated with someone so talented —no offence, Benny. (Hey!)
Welcome to my Underworld.
Let me treat you to a song.
A welcome gift.
I have the floor. It is mine, after all.
Muse, any requests?
Questions?
I didn’t do what I was told
Didn’t know that it was all a game
I didn’t think that he would do it
Then Euridice was gone
And Persephone
You stood right beside him and said, “what a shame”
He was always going to kill her and you knew it
And I’ve never got to
Have my revenge (You took it all Persephone)
My pain never ends (My only enemy)
I see you now
Persephone, won’t turn my back (I won’t turn my back)
I won’t turn my back (Won’t turn my back on you again)
My back on you again
I beg your pardon
I want to behave properly
It’s not your song
You better stay open
She’s a friend and a god
That throne is for me
I won’t let it be
Forgotten
Persephone your part in this will never be
Forgotten
Corpses in crowns
Tangled and trapped
Eyes full of cobwebs
Only looking back
Don’t you see what I see?
Looks all dead to me
You’re both the same
The same?!
I like what you’re doing, Muse, but I thought you’d be on my side.
The bard is to blame
For the hell that he’s been in
Persephone, you’re the reason I’m here.
I’m not here to give in.
Oh, you think I will?
Can I get this through both of your heads
You’re fighting over something that’s dead
I mean
You should have seen this coming
There’s no point in reasoning with him, Grace.
Oh, I believe she was speaking to us both.
I certainly wish I’d seen you coming.
We made a bargain
Now I doubt everything
Promise me
You’re not using me
I told you we’re here for Freddie
We’re wasting our time!
A child cannot see
We can’t let it be
Forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten
Forgotten
You didn’t do what you were told
But you won’t face the fact that you’re to blame
And Persephone you blew it
You must understand each other by now
All of this is gettin’ kinda old
What a shame
There’s the door, walk through it
But I never got to
Have my revenge
Our pain never ends
Our pain never ends
Orpheus, I promise you now
Belatedly
I won’t turn my back
I won’t turn my back on you again
