Lyrics

[Verse 1]
King of silver, king of gold
And everything glittering under the ground
Hades is king of oil and coal
And the riches that flow where those rivers are found
But for half of the year with Persephone gone
His loneliness moves in him, crude and black
He thinks of his wife in the arms of the sun
And jealousy fuels him and feeds him and fills him
With doubt that she'll ever come
Dread that she'll never come
Doubt that his lover will ever come back
[Verse 2]
King of mortar, king of bricks
The River Styx is a river of stones
And Hades lays them high and thick
With a million hands that are not his own
With a million hands, he builds a wall
Around all the riches he digs from the earth
The pickaxe flashes, the hammer falls
And crashing and pounding
His rivers surround him
And drown out the sound of the song he once heard
[Chorus]
La, la-la-la, la-la, la
La, la-la-la, la-la, la
La, la-la-la, la-la, la
La, la-la-la, la-la
