The Throne - Red Edition

[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

[PERSEPHONE]
A child in a garden
A prise for a king, property
Bound and gagged
With silver and satin
I gutted a god
This hell is mine
I won't let it be forgotten
Forgotten

[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...
I didn't belong here
A wolf is waiting in the tune
But that throne belongs to me
Someone's coming...
No one deserves it more than I do
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]
What's your problem with Persephone?

[ORPHEUS]
Dow-dow-dow, loop it!

I didn't do what I was told
Didn't know that it was all a game
I didn't think that he would do it
Then Eurydice was gone
And Persephone you stood right beside him
And said, "What a shame"
He was always gonna kill her and you knew it
And never got to...

[ORPHEUS, SPIRITS, ORPHEUS & SPIRITS]
Have my revenge (You took it all Persephone)
My pain never ends (My only enemy)
I see you now, Persephone
Won't turn my back (I won't turn my back)
Won't turn my back (I won't turn my back)
On you again!

[GRACE]
I beg your pardon?
I wanna behave properly
It's not your song
You better stay open
She's a friend, and a god

[PERSEPHONE, ORPHEUS, PERSEPHONE & ORPHEUS]
That throne is for me, I won't let it be
Forgotten
Persephone, your part in this will never be
Forgotten

[GRACE]
Corpses in crowns, tangled and trapped
Eyes full of cobwebs, only lookin' back
Don't you see what I see?
Looks all dead to me
You're both the same

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
The same?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
I like what you're doing, Muse, but I thought you'd be on my side

[PERSEPHONE]
The bard is to blame for the hell that he's been in

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Persephone, you're the reason I'm here. I'm not here to give in

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Oh, you think I will?

[GRACE]
Can I get this through both of your heads?
You're fighting over something that's dead!
I mean, you shoulda seen this coming

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
There's no point in reasoning with him, Grace

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Oh, I believe she was speaking to us both

[PERSEPHONE, spoken]
Certainly wish I'd seen you coming

[GRACE]
We made a bargain, now I doubt everything
Promise me, you're not using me
I told you, we're here for Freddie
We're wasting our time!

[ORPHEUS]
Child, cannot see

[PERSEPHONE]
We can't let it be...

[PERSEPHONE & ORPHEUS]
Forgotten!
Forgotten!
Forgotten!
Forgotten!

[GRACE]
You didn't do what you were told
But you won't face the fact that you're to blame
And Persephone you blew it
You must understand each other by now
All of this is getting kinda old
What a shame
There's the door, walk through it

[ORPHEUS]
But I never got to
Have my revenge

[PERSEPHONE]
Our pain never ends

[ORPHEUS]
Our pain never ends

[PERSEPHONE]
Orpheus, I promise you now, belatedly
I won't turn my back

[PERSEPHONE & ORPHEUS]
I won't turn my back on you again
