Proserpina Lyrics

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
