The juxtaposition of spring's new life with the gloom of the underworld is something that always fascinated me about the myth of Hades & Persephone.
lyrics
Verse 1
I’m at winter’s end
Staring down the edge of the spring
I wanna be your goddess,
I wanna be your queen
Prechorus
I live underground
Deep in the earth’s core
I wanna know what lies behind those eyes of yours
Chorus
We are timeless, though we are temporary
And he’s the Hades to my Persephone
Love is its own kind of personal hell
And I’m cursed too, but honey, it’s just as well
Verse 2
The whole world’s a stage
And it’s bleeding blue and green
Through the mist and fog,
Your figure is all I see
Prechorus
I live underground
Deep in the earth’s core
I wanna know what lies behind those eyes of yours
Chorus
We are timeless, though we are temporary
And he’s the Hades to my Persephone
Love is its own kind of personal hell
And I’m cursed too, but honey, it’s just as well
Chorus
We are timeless, though we are temporary
And he’s the Hades to my Persephone
You've got me under your magical spell
Oh, and I’m cursed too, but honey, it’s just as well
