Sing me a song
To bring Hades to tears,
A song not meant
For a mortal with fears.
Sing me a song
That makes Persephone cry,
And bring back the soul
Of the love lost in time.
Bring me your lyre
Brave Orpheus heart,
And I'll let you see
What time forced apart.
Gaze not you backwards,
Keep strong with your faith
Or you will lose her again
To Death's cold embrace.
Sing me a song
To make Cerberus tame,
A song made for life
Brought to the god of the dead.
Sing me a song
To make Styx freeze her course,
So you may discover
What you had lost before.
Bring me your lyre
Brave Orpheus heart,
And to you shall return
What time forced apart.
Gaze not you backwards,
Keep strong with your faith
Or lose love again
To Death's cold embrace.
To bring Hades to tears,
A song not meant

And bring back the soul
Of the love lost in time.
Bring me your lyre

And I'll let you see

Keep strong with your faith
Or you will lose her again

An Ancient Greek Poem
Zeus is the king of the gods and goddesses
No one is mightier than he
He has power over all of mankind
Zeus is the most important as you can see
Lightning bolts are his weapons
And he controls the weather
Hey, did you know that
Zeus and Hera are together?
Hera is the queen of all
And the marriage protector
She took care of the women and children
While she sipped on Nector
Zeus was the youngest of his siblings
But he was still the leader
His other siblings are
Hestia, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and Demeter
Hades became the god of the under world
Because he loved the rich minerals in the Earth
He was also god of wealth
So he obvi

Persephone and Hades
Persephone & Hades
He watched his opposite.
His other half.
(Goddess of the Earth who belonged in the Sun)
They truly were the more he thought about it.
(Dark sun kissed skin & dark firry red hair with leaf green eyes)
(His skin so pale & blonde hair and icy blue eyes)
She stares out with lightless eyes at the river of Styx wanting to cross it.
To go back up & stand under the warm sun where she belongs.
To talk to the flowers & watch them grow while birds sing in praise of her beauty.
Eating honeysuckles & pomegranates & drinking the finest wine.
He was selfish, but even so she would look at him love.

Random song, inspired by the legend of Orpheus.
-----
The most famous story in which Orpheus figures is that of his wife Eurydice (sometimes referred to as Euridice and also known as Agriope). While walking among her people, the Cicones, in tall grass at her wedding, Eurydice was set upon by a satyr. In her efforts to escape the satyr, Eurydice fell into a nest of vipers and suffered a fatal bite on her heel. Her body was discovered by Orpheus who, overcome with grief, played such sad and mournful songs that all the nymphs and gods wept. On their advice, Orpheus travelled to the underworld and by his music softened the hearts of Hades and Persephone (he was the only person ever to do so), who agreed to allow Eurydice to return with him to earth on one condition: he should walk in front of her and not look back until they both had reached the upper world. He set off with Eurydice following, and, in his anxiety, as soon as he reached the upper world, he turned to look at her, forgetting that both needed to be in the upper world, and she vanished for the second time, but now forever. - Wikipedia article excerpt

I love Greek myths, though this is the one that made me so scared to turn around now. I think this just perfectly describes him, it's glorious and sad and I believe from the point of view of Eurydice. I really do love this part of the chorus,

Keep strong with your faith
Or lose love again
To Death's cold embrace."<--
