Epic III

King of shadows
 King of shades
 Hades was king of the Underworld
 Oh, it's about me?
 Go on...
 But he fell in love with a beautiful lady
 Who walked up above
 In her mother's green field
 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
 Where'd you get that melody?
 La la la la la la la
 Let him finish, Hades
 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
 La la la la la la la
 La la la la la la la
 La la la la la la...
 And what has become of the heart of that man
 Now that the man is king?
 What has become of the heart of that man
 Now that he has everything?
 The more he has, the more he holds
 The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders
 See how he labors beneath that load
 Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go
 So he keeps his head low, he keeps his back bending
 He's grown so afraid that he'll lose what he owns
 But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending
 Is already gone
 Where is the treasure inside of your chest?
 Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth?
 Where is the man with his arms outstretched?
 To the woman he loves
 With nothing to lose
 Singing la la la la la la la...
 La la la la la la la...
 La la la la la la la...
 La la la la la la...
