Hermes:
Where'd you get that melody?

Orpheus:
I dunno, it came to me
As if I'd known it all along

Hermes:
You have
It's an old song
A song of love from long ago
Long time since I heard it though

Orpheus:
You've heard that melody before?

Hermes:
Sure

Orpheus:
Tell me more

Hermes:
What do you know about the gods?

Orpheus:
About the gods? Which ones?

Hermes:
Hades and Persephone
Did you know it used to be their love that made the world go round?

Orpheus:
Sure, but this is now
And that was long ago

Hermes:
Tell me what you know

Orpheus:
Back in the beginning
There used to be a woman and a man
I don't know how the story ends
But that's how it began

King of diamonds, king of spades
Hades was king of the kingdom of... dirt?
Miners of mines, diggers of graves
They bowed down to Hades who gave them work

And he bowed down to no one below or above
Til the arrow of Eros struck him in the heart
And the king of the Underworld fell in love
With a woman who walked in a garden

Hermes:
Go on

Orpheus:
Queen of flowers, queen of fields
Queen of the green and growing things
Lady Persephone, half of the year
Stayed down in Hades, with Hades the king

But the other half she could walk in sun
The sun in turn burned twice as bright
Which is where the seasons come from
And with them the cycle
Of the seed and the sickle
And the lives of the people
And the birds in their flight

Hermes:
Singing..

Orpheus:
La la la la la la la

Hermes:
Down below and up above

Orpheus:
La la la la la la la

Hermes:
In harmony and rythym

Orpheus:
La la la la la la la

Hermes:
The gods sang a song of love

Orpheus:
La la la la la la la

Hermes:
And the world sang it with them

Orpheus:
That song was sung by the gods?

Hermes:
Once upon a time it was
But that was long ago
Before we were on this road
