Road To Hell [Reprise] lyrics

[HERMES]

A'ight

It’s an old song

It's an old tale from way back when

It's an old song

(spoken)

And that is how it ends

(sung)

That’s how it goes

Don't ask why, brother, don't ask how

He could have come so close

The song was written long ago

(spoken)

And that is how it goes

(sung)

It's a sad song

It's a sad tale

(spoken)

It's a tragedy

(sung)

It's a sad song

(spoken)

But we sing it anyway

'Cause here’s the thing

To know how it ends

And still begin to sing it again

As if it might turn out this time

I learned that from a friend of mine

See, Orpheus was a poor boy

[EURYDICE, spoken]

Anybody got a match?

[HERMES, spoken]

But he had a gift to give

[EURYDICE, spoken]

Gimme that

[HERMES]

(spoken)

He could make you see how the world could be

(sung)

In spite of the way that it is

(spoken)

Can you see it?

Can you hear it?

(sung)

Can you feel it like a train?

(spoken)

Is it coming?

Is it coming this way?

(sung)

On a sunny day, there was a railroad car

And a lady steppin’ off a train

Everybody looked and everybody saw

That spring had come again

With a love song

[PERSEPHONE]

With a love song

[COMPANY]

With a love song

[HERMES]

With a tale of a love from long ago

[HERMES]

It's a sad song

[COMPANY]

It’s a sad song

[PERSEPHONE]

It's a sad song

[HERMES]

But we keep singin' even so

It's an old song

[EURYDICE]

It’s an old song

[ORPHEUS]

It's an old song

[COMPANY]

It's an old song

[HERMES]

It's an old tale from way back when

And we're gonna sing it again and again

We're gonna sing, we're gonna sing

[ALL]

It's a love song

It's a tale of a love from long again

It's a sad song

We keep singing even so

It's an old song

It's an old tale from way back when

And we're gonna sing it again and again

[HERMES]

We're gonna sing it again
