lyrics

Persephone © 11/2011 G. Estevez-LaMonte

Some say she was stolen
Some say she gave her consent
But when the King beneath the mountain sees a star against the black
You really haven’t any choice and there’s no turning back
Persephone

Some say she led him on a chase through field and wood
Some say he ran her to ground
But when your beauty is your weapon and you burn like the sun
You draw the winter to you … there’s just one way this tale can run

Persephone, run
Persephone, choose
Who you will be
Are you the beauty in the grave?
Or the dying rose above?
Will you take his darkling heart into your own to love?
Persephone

Some say she bleeds ice and white roses
Some say she flows crimson red
One season in the year to taste the flowers bloom
Then all the world would think that she’s returning to her doom
But she and her captor/lover/King … they know that it’s not true
Persephone …

Some say her father did bargain
Some say her mother did grieve
She may have lost the light … oh, how she gained a crown
To rule each dying breath, to lay each body down
To deliver every soul to the wheel that still goes ‘round
Persephone …
