lyrics

Out in the narcissus,
the bounteous knoll
cracked and quaked
to swallow you whole:

blackened by Hell’s
unmerciful flames,
a ghostly specter
in chariots’ wake.

Crowned with your scepter
and pomegranate seed,
you reign over death
and our destinies.

Upright and just,
you give what we ask;
all you request is
we never look back.

Until your return,
the Earth shall remain
barren and still;
all life shall abstain

in mourning the loss
of a beautiful child
to incest profane
and virtue defiled.

Persephone, Persephone,
take the blame from me.
Persephone, Persephone,
spare the child in me.
Persephone, Persephone,
with your torch, guide me.
Persephone, Persephone,
at the end, take me.
