Henry Taylour - Proserpina Lyrics

Many years past, in the valleys of Sicily
As you gathered violets and lilies in the glade
Down by the lake
God and he hatched a plan, to end his loneliness
And bring you to his kingdom
And so I took you down to wrap up in the cold
To well lit streets with me, you'll prosper in the dark, be bold
For you never know if you need the sun
You never know if you'll miss the sound of the lark till it's begun
Now my love you must face the time
For hells forbidden fruit entangled you with me at your side
For I care more about my selfish desire
To have you more than any other
Brittle selfish truth be told
And so the villain tried to steal her from you
Oh for what? His sin was love
And so your mother searched for my beloved
Over every land and sea
She said you know not what is best for her
She belongs with me
And winter fell, and the crops failed
All because of me
And so the villain tried to steal her from you
Oh for what? His sin was love
And so the villain tried to steal her from you
Oh for what? His sin was love
Persephone I'm sorry, I should let you go
To your mother and family
You belong with the living, I should know
Persephone, you should go
To your mother, to where the trees still grow
Persephone I'm sorry, I should let you go
To your mother and family
You belong with the living, I should know
Persephone, I'm sorry you should go
To your mother, to where the trees still grow
