• How Long?

PERSEPHONE
Hades, my husband, Hades, my light / Hades, my darkness
If you had heard how he sang tonight / You’d pity poor Orpheus!
All of his sorrow won’t fit in his chest / It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest
And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest / How long, how long, how long?
HADES
How long? Just as long as Hades is King / Nothing comes of wishing on stars
And nothing comes of the songs people sing / However sorry they are
Give them a piece and they’ll take it all / Show them the crack and they’ll tear down the wall
Lend them an ear and the Kingdom will fall / The Kingdom will fall for a song
PERSEPHONE
What does he care for the logic of kings? / The laws of your underworld?
It is only for love that he sings! / He sings for the love of a girl
HADES
You and your pity don’t fit in my bed / You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed
And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed / How long, how long, how long?
PERSEPHONE
How long? Just as long as I am your wife / It’s true the earth must die
But then the earth comes back to life / And the sun just goes on rising
HADES & PERSEPHONE
And how does the sun even fit in the sky? / It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky
And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky / How long, how long, how long?
