King of shadows

King of shades

Hades was king of the Underworld



But he fell in love with a beautiful lady

Who walked up above

In her mother's greenfield

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...



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...
