(Narrator:) And so we begin with another tragedienne’s tale In Rome’s pleasant land Where summer saw the rains And her flowers green wilted in the gale (Persephone:) And I'm a world away (Hermes:) For you failed to wake, my love (Persephone:) And I was led astray (Hermes:) Whoever said that this life could last? (Persephone:) And I am so afraid (Hermes:) But this could’ve been our heaven (Persephone:) And darkness took the day (Hermes:) And so I seek out the Stygian shore Charon my trusted friend of old The great collector of passages paid Then I land where Cerberus stands, open the way with sleight of hand This patron of thieves has some tricks up his sleeve Tartaros awaits!

(Hermes:) I’ll carry you away (Persephone:) Yea, this should be our heaven (Hermes:) We’ll fly unto the day (Hades:) And the flames will rise Out of the depth of my scorching soul Unto the sky (Hermes:) One step in the sunlight, one leap in the dark You’re worth all the ache I bear One step in the sunlight, a leap out of the dark On winged soles we fly (Hermes:) We returned from the war in Heaven, but took some Hell with us Yet from our ashes we rise I’d walk from the mortal land to somewhere far beyond In quest for merely your smile We’re all on our way to Heaven, from lives contrived and short For we all run out of time And we fly along to the distant end of how far it may bear us ‘Neath only bluest of skies
