| [00:22] |
Hades, my husband |
| [00:25] |
Hades, my light |
| [00:29] |
Hades, my darkness |
| [00:34] |
If you had heard how he sang tonight |
| [00:41] |
You'd pity poor Orpheus |
| [00:46] |
All of his sorrow won't fit in his chest |
| [00:51] |
It just burns like fire in the pit of his chest |
| [00:57] |
And his heart is a bird on the spit in his chest |
| [01:02] |
How long, how long, how long? |
| [01:08] |
How long? |
| [01:10] |
Just as long as Hades is King |
| [01:15] |
Nothing comes of wishing on stars |
| [01:21] |
Nothing comes of the songs people sing |
| [01:28] |
However sorry they are |
| [01:33] |
Give them a piece then they'll take it all |
| [01:38] |
Show them the crack they'll tear down the wall |
| [01:44] |
Lend them an ear and the kingdom will fall |
| [01:49] |
The kingdom will fall for a song |
| [01:55] |
What does he care for the logic of kings? |
| [02:01] |
The laws of your underworld? |
| [02:08] |
It is only for love that he sings |
| [02:13] |
He sings for the love of a girl |
| [02:19] |
You and your pity don't fit in my bed |
| [02:25] |
You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed |
| [02:30] |
And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed |
| [02:35] |
How long, how long, how long? |
| [02:41] |
How long? Just as long as I am your wife |
| [02:48] |
It's true the earth must die |
| [02:54] |
Then the earth comes back to life |
| [03:00] |
And the sun just goes on rising |
| [03:06] |
And how does the sun even fit in the sky? |
| [03:10] |
It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky |
| [03:16] |
And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky |
| [03:22] |
How long, how long, how long? |
