Hades/Man:

   Am                  G               F                   G
I know well the reason my heartache resumes
           C                   G                   C              Am
(For) I love not the season when primroses bloom
  Am                G                         F                    G
I know winter fades and you’ll leave me one day
        C                G                        C                   Am
Too dark is the springtime when you’ve gone away
Am    G    C      G     C F     Em
Light the path and follow me-

​

                           Am       G    Am     G     Am
Chorus (Both): Down, hey down, hey down

​

Persephone/Woman:

Such sorrow is mine for I know all too well
Our parting is much of what shadows your hell
I can’t shun the sunlight or those whom I serve
Though truly in love there’s much more you deserve
Still I find I follow you-

​

Chorus (Both)

Hades/Man:

I wonder had I known what destiny planned
Would I have the courage to take up your hand
Mayhap it is true love can lessen one’s pain
(But) I know only grief when you will not remain
Come, my heart, and follow me-

​

Chorus (Both)

Persephone/Woman:

Although fate has given us much cause to grieve
For autumn’s embrace we endure winter’s eve
Remember our laughter and banish your fears
Far greater our joy than these transient tears
I will always follow you-

​

Chorus (Both)

Hades/Man:

Forgive me, my Love, all my worrisome ways
I cherish your comfort and each of our days

Persephone/Woman:

My Love, my sweet winter, take heart for I vow
I followed you then and I’ll follow you now
Hand in hand we share this path-

​

Chorus (Both)

Coming Soon!

The Norns, they are heartless
as they weave the wicked weird of men
I ask so much of you,
but to risk your life time and again
You swore your oath in faith, to me
When spirits ran high,
And the mead it flowed freely
Yet now has come the time to see
If you would be bold,
(Aye) Then you must go with me

​

Refrain:
Hear the halls ring, with the names of the fallen
Sing, ye skalds, sing! Let their mettle be known
Valhalla looks for its sons on this dawning
Valkyries fly, for to carry you home...

The times they are daunting
And there is yet glory to be won
The songs shake the timbers
Of the tasks done and yet to be done
But look upon the faces here
The souls who shared well
Ev’ry heartbreak and vict’ry
Yet now is not the time for tears
We must journey on,
(Though) there’s sorry in brav’ry

​

Refrain

The mead brings small comfort
To the voices here who must be heard
And tales give no measure
Of your merits forged in deed and word
Each man may doubt when comes their end
Their worth in the eyes
Of one’s kith and one’s kinsmen
But rest ye with the knowledge, friend
That those who yet live,
(They) Live better you knew them

​

Extended Refrain:
Hear the halls ring, with the names of the fallen
Sing, ye skalds, sing! Let their mettle be known
Valhalla looks for its sons on this dawning
Valkyries fly, for to carry you home...
Drink deep of peace for this day you are home

​

Coming Soon!

As "Bringer of the Darkness" she's known by mortal men
Or goddess of the springtime when blossoms bloom again
But it is not Persephone who burries you in snow
It is her mother's grief at parting - grief I've come to know...
So pity on Demeter as you stoke the waning fire
But pity not Persephone who heeded her desire

​

Refrain:
All hail Hades, All hail Persephone
All hail true love for it humbles all the earth
All hail Hades, All hail Persephone
All hail true love, for it humbles all the earth...

​

My father knew no finer Maid than fair Persephone
And though her kin deny the truth, she loved him heartily
So in his blazing chariot he brought his lover down       
He offered her what Zeus could not, a golden, burnished crown      
But Zeus, denied, was jealous and imposed a dual Fate  
Yet I am proof that love if true burns bright for those who wait

​

Refrain:

All hail Hades, All hail Persephone

All hail true love for it sews death and rebirth

All hail Hades, All hail Persephone

All hail true love, for it humbles all the earth...

The golden court can whisper on of lust and Zeus’ guile
My power tastes of darkness and I have my father’s smile
Persephone, my mother, savored well the fruits below
And as the Queen of Darkness birthed a daughter, Melinoe
For by the River Styx she lay in passion’s heady mist
I am the proof that shadow and the light can coexist 

​

Refrain:

All hail Hades, All hail Persephone

All hail true love for it sews death and rebirth

All hail Hades, All hail Persephone

All hail true love, for it humbles all the earth...

​

Oh, I was born unto a world as black as gleaming oil
A goddess of the dead but heedless of the mortal coil
My robes are sewn of wayward souls, my court of ghostly grace
And though as fair as moonlight no man living knows my face
And every time the Bringer of the Seasons doth depart
I stand as proof my father fairly won my mother’s heart

​

Instramental

​

Each year my mother leaves to bless the barren world above
I cannot bare the months apart nor bide without her love
Thus when you hear the howling of the hounds by moonlit hours
Know that I walk your mortal fields to seek my mother’s flowers
To all you lost and wayward souls: Come, Attend me well
I am the proof that love can light the deepest shades of hell!

​

Refrain:

All hail Hades, All hail Persephone

All hail true love for it sews death and rebirth

All hail Hades, All hail Persephone

All hail true love, for it humbles all the earth...

All hail true love, may you know what such is worth.
