Proserpina

Many years past, in the valleys of Sicily As you gathered violets and lilies in the glade Down by the lake God and he hatched a plan, to end his loneliness And bring you to his kingdom And so I took you down to wrap up in the cold To well lit streets with me, you'll prosper in the dark, be bold For you never know if you need the sun You never know if you'll miss the sound of the lark till it's begun Now my love you must face the time For hells forbidden fruit entangled you with me at your side For I care more about my selfish desire To have you more than any other Brittle selfish truth be told And so the villain tried to steal her from you Oh for what? His sin was love And so your mother searched for my beloved Over every land and sea She said you know not what is best for her She belongs with me And winter fell, and the crops failed All because of me And so the villain tried to steal her from you Oh for what? His sin was love And so the villain tried to steal her from you Oh for what? His sin was love Persephone I'm sorry, I should let you go To your mother and family You belong with the living, I should know Persephone, you should go To your mother, to where the trees still grow Persephone I'm sorry, I should let you go To your mother and family You belong with the living, I should know Persephone, I'm sorry you should go To your mother, to where the trees still grow
