The Throne - Green Edition Lyrics by Austin Wintory, Tripod

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

2023

[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]
It wasn't your fault, there was no right or wrong
It wasn't your fault you didn't belong
If my life was stolen, I wouldn't know where to turn
Candle isn't finished, it's a slow burn
[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...
We might have a problem
A wolf is waiting in the tune
This bard's already dead
Someone's coming...
But you can defeat him
I can feel them howling at the moon
With my help
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]
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]
It wasn't your fault, how were you to react?
It wasn't your fault, now there's no turning back
If my love was taken, I wouldn't where to turn
Your candle isn't finished, it's a slow burn
[PERSEPHONE]
This tête-à-tête is over
If he's the victim, what am I?
[ORPHEUS]
Queen, let's not lose our composure
The Muse understands
[PERSEPHONE]
Well I won't comply!
I'd rather die!
[ORPHEUS]
I have nothing but a dark and empty hole
Wanting something to fill a shallow soul
I am their king, the king of constant sorrow
With a throne room
[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
It's not your throne Orpheus
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
It will be until you admit you were wrong!
[PERSEPHONE]
I wouldn't go there, it's too much for you
And I'm not sorry for your mistake
[GRACE]
Orpheus, have you wondered if this queen was a slave?
She couldn't help, you dug your own grave!
And now it's her homecoming
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Oh yes, yeah, she was a helplesss prisoner all those centuries!
[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
What do you know of it, bard?
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
I know a fairytale when I hear one
[PERSEPHONE]
It wasn't your fault, you were never to blame
Hades was a monster, we were part of his game
Orpheus, where is your fire? When will the music return?
[ORPHEUS]
The candle isn't finished, it's a slow burn
[PERSEPHONE]
It's a slow burn
[ORPHEUS & PERSEPHONE]
It's a slow burn
[GRACE, spoken]
That throne doesn't belong to you and you know it
[PERSEPHONE]
We all throw our secrets into the water
The shoreline is littered with every regret
[ORPHEUS]
I'm not too proud of all that's washed up here
I'll put it behind me
[PERSEPHONE]
And I won't forget, you're letting it go
And I won't forget
