Challenging a Queen - Green Edition Lyrics by Austin Wintory, Tripod

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical (Green Edition) [Original Game Soundtrack]

2023

[PERSEPHONE]
You're lost, little girl
You shouldn't have come here
And I sure ain't in the mood to make new friends
Go home, little girl
The shadow's drawing near
And you all alone, we both know how this ends
Let's see how far she bends!
We all know how it ends
[GRACE]
Thanks for the welcome, it's my first time here
You've made your feelings for me crystal clear
You play your show, I'll just go grab a beer
Didn't come here to quarrel with you
Love what you've done here, this place comes up well
You've nailed the theme it really feels like hell
Guess you're not looking for new clientele?
Just as well, that's a five-star review
Let's try the easy way
Hear what I have to say
[PERSEPHONE]
They get younger every year
Little big shots that drift through here
Think they're bringing something new through the door
And you've heard it a thousand times before!
Honey, I've heard it a thousand times before!
Honey, I've heard it a thousand times!
[GRACE]
Why would I come down here and start a brawl?
I'm just running out of time is all
If it's true that I'm just lost and small
Why you keeping your guard up?
[PERSEPHONE & SPIRITS]
Now she's lifting riffs from Pan!
So familiar, so second-hand
What a stock dime-a-dozen troubador
Honey, we've heard it a thousand times before! (A thousand times before!)
(You're no kind of Muse! You can't fill the shoes!)
Oh, we've heard it a thousand times!
[GRACE]
Then I guess you've heard it all before
Gave it my best, and then you slammed the door
Raises the question, who else you'd ignore?
[PERSEPHONE & GRACE]
They get younger every year
(Stay in the dark and fight your endless war)
The little big shots that drift through here
(Certain you can't be suprised anymore)
Think they're bringing something new through the door
(You know there's someone else that I speak for)
But you've heard it
[GRACE]
Do you hear that?
[PERSEPHONE]
Calliope
[GRACE]
If she had something to say, would you turn her away?
[PERSEPHONE]
Please, don't do this
[GRACE]
You're lost, Persephone
You've burried yourself
On stage, in the blinding lights
You're hiding here
You ate that seed, that's not on me
Rotten too long, blossomed all wrong
[PERSEPHONE]
We change shape, in time you'll see
We all rot away into who we will be
Your youth wasn't stolen
Like it was from me
[GRACE, spokem]
Let me help you
[PERSEPHONE]
Don't touch me!
I don't need help from any of you!
I was alone, when you know who
Kidnapped and crushed all my dreams
'Til a Muse...
(spoken)
I just want Calliope back
[GRACE]
You overcame so much on your own
You should be praised
I'm done throwing stones
Please believe me
Do you see me?
Bowing down to you, my queen
Underworld, I hearby concede
You wanted blood, well, there's no more to bleed
Your queen's above that, now I get that
But can you help, Persephone, help a lost girl?
