Epic III lyrics

[ORPHEUS]

King of shadows

King of shades

Hades was king of the Underworld

[HADES, spoken]

Oh, it's about me?

[HERMES, spoken]

Go on...

[ORPHEUS]

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 I know how it was because

He was like me

A man in love with a woman

Singing la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

[HADES, spoken]

Where'd you get that melody?

[ORPHEUS]

La la la la la la la

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]

Let him finish, Hades

[ORPHEUS]

La la la la la la

And you didn't know how

And you didn't know why

But you knew that you wanted to take her home

You saw her alone there, against the sky

It was like she was someone you'd always known

It was like you were holding the world when you held her

Like yours were the arms that the whole world was in

And there were no words for the way that you felt

So you opened your mouth and you started to sing:

La la la la la la la

[ORPHEUS and COMPANY]

La la la la la la la

[ORPHEUS]

La la la la la la la

[ORPHEUS and COMPANY]

La la la la la la...

[ORPHEUS]

And what has become of the heart of that man

Now that the man is king?

What has become of the heart of that man

Now that he has everything?

The more he has, the more he holds

The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders

See how he labors beneath that load

Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go

So he keeps his head low, he keeps his back bending

He's grown so afraid that he'll lose what he owns

But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending

Is already gone

Where is the treasure inside of your chest?

Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth?

Where is the man with his arms outstretched?

To the woman he loves

With nothing to lose

Singing la la la la la la la…

[HADES]

La la la la la la la…

[ORPHEUS]

La la la la la la la…

[ORPHEUS, HADES AND PERSEPHONE]

La la la la la la…
