He sat on a hill and sang
As rocks around him rang
And for his beloved one
Strumming, raised the sun
They loved under the sky
Till the night came by and by
And they swore they'd never die
Till a viper bit her thigh
The venom took her
And she died
So he fell to the earth
And crawled inside
Grief took his voice
But he found it when
Hades and Persephone
Bade him sing again
Take her, they said in sympathy
Just don't turn back to see
But you know how it came to be
And what now waits for you and me
Take her, they said with sympathy
Just don't turn back to see
But you know how it came to be
And what now waits for you and me
