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 greenfield 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
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 La la la la la la la...

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 greenfield
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
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
La la la la la la la...
