[PERSEPHONE]
I wouldn't touch that
Way too much for you
Overload you, blow a fuse
Every story, ever memory winds up here, in the water
I used to dream that this river would rise
Swallow the anger, tears in my eyes
Then suddenly, I was found alone
I destroyed Hades, but was denied his throne
[GRACE, spoken]
It really is dead here, isn't it?
[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Everything here is fading away. She needs her queen
[GRACE, spoken]
We're here for Freddie, too...
[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
I killed the king, fair and square. They had no right to take to take it from me
[GRACE]
I don't know much about suffering
You've seen your life disappear
I lost a friend, if I could find her again?
That's why I'm here
That's why I'm here
[ORPHEUS]
Someone's coming...
There's music floating through
Someone's coming and it has me singing too
We have visitors! I think we all know what to do
To the throne room!
This bard's about to meet a Muse
[GRACE, spoken]
There's someone singing with us
[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
That would be Orpheus
[GRACE, spoken]
Is he a Muse?
[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Oh, he's so much more than that
[ORPHEUS, PERSEPHONE, GRACE]
Someone's coming...
You better be ready
A wolf is waiting in the tune
He's a master of his craft
Someone's coming...
We have to take back, what is mine
I can feel them howling at the moon
Don't forget why we came here
There's a name here
I won't forget
That reeks of enemy
(But you can bet he knows)
[PERSEPHONE & ORPHEUS]
Someone's coming...
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
It's about time, Persephone
[PERSEPHONE]
Orpheus! I've been...
(spoken)
What-what happened to the music?
[SPIRITS, spoken]
(Oh, so cool...)
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
I have been waiting for you, Persephone... for so long
And you brought a Muse!
Hi! Lovely tune, by the way
Can't remember the last time I collaborated with someone so talented
No offense, Benny
[SPIRITS, spoken]
Hey!
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Welcome to my Underworld
Let me treat you to a song. A welcome gift
I have the floor. It is mine, after all
Muse, any requests?
Questions?
[GRACE, spoken]
Are you really that good?
[ORPHEUS]
Hmph!
Duhn, da-dow, loo pit!
I wouldn't say that I'm good
I wouldn't say that I'm great
I wouldn't say that my timing's perfect
I wouldn't say that I'm... late
[SPIRITS]
But you could say that he's
[ORPHEUS & SPIRITS]
The best that's ever been (Best that's ever been)
The best you've ever seen (Best you've ever seen)
The best you've ever heard (Best you've ever heard)
And I haven't even really sung a single word!
(No, he hasn't even sung a single word!)
[GRACE, spoken]
I think I chose poorly...
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Okay, just getting a gauge. Not your thing? Try again
Another request?
[GRACE, spoken]
My friend is dead. Can you help me?
[ORPHEUS]
Hmph!
(Hums) Loop!
The river keeps secrets deep in the water
How far do you sink till you're buried below?
I challenged the Fates and found my Eurydice
But you had to kill her, and I won't let it go
(spoken)
You're asking the wrong person
[GRACE]
I hear your torment and your suffering
They made your love disappear
I lost a friend, if I can find her again...
That's why I'm here
[ORPHEUS]
That's why I'm here
[GRACE]
That's why I'm here
[PERSEPHONE & ORPHEUS]
Orpheus, you're here for you are stubborn
This is when you say you're certain you had no control
But I saw you smiling when your husband condemned my soul!
[PERSEPHONE]
The throne was stolen after I murdered the king
You should be grateful and thank me for everything
And yet you scream - like a boy you kick the ground
I was a slave!
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Eurydice is gone because you did nothing!
[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Orpheus, there was nothing I could do!
[ORPHEUS & PERSEPHONE]
I saw your whispers: poison behind your king!
It wasn't me!
If I cannot have my revenge, you're the next best thing!
[GRACE]
Hades abused you, drove you mad!
Persephone, why do you want this so bad?
This is some homecoming
[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
I refuse to walk away with nothing
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
And no price is too high to pay for that, yes?
[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
You have no idea...
[ORPHEUS & PERSEPHONE]
I've spent millennia wondering
If I hadn't try to interfere...
You'd be with her now
But how? I made a young and stubborn vow
That's why I'm here
That's why I'm here
[GRACE, spoken]
I think Orpheus should stay right where he is
[ORPHEUS]
Throw all our secrets into the water
It doesn't take long 'til they spill out to sea
Yet, there are some things that even kings can never know
My heart still sings for Eurydice
No, nothing has changed, and I won't let it go
