about

2018, Persephone sings to Hades' newest consort.

lyrics

I'm not jealous, I just wish you were gone.
You like singing well, make this your swan song.
If you have love up in the sun
Don't throw it out, to be princess of gutter scum.

You see sultry riches, a savage d'amor
I see a shunned god with a fetish for the pure -
You think you're free, caught in his net.
What did he promise he'd give
what did he say you'd forget?

You may be innocent, you may be untouched but
Just look into the darkness, your morals will adjust
What looks clear in daylight tends to look grey at dusk.

I am older than your oldest books
I have seen more than you might guess from my good looks
No I don't compete but I do keep score.
Honey, if you're out to test me then you're opting for war.

Don't play so ignorant, you took the bait
You got a little something, now the fisherman gets to celebrate
Oh, if you are smart, you'll look for a way to escape.

Yes a smart girl like you
still has time to escape

Poor little sun fish in our gutter pond
Best be a tourist and honey
tourists don't stay long.
