| Album | Hadestown |
| [00:01] | King of diamonds, king of spades |
| [00:05] | Hades was king of a kingdom of dirt |
| [00:10] | Miners of mines, diggers of graves |
| [00:14] | They bowed down to Hades who gave them work |
| [00:19] | And they bowed down to Hades who made them sweat |
| [00:25] | Who paid them their wages and set them about |
| [00:29] | Digging and dredging and dragging the depths of the earth |
| [00:35] | To turn its insides out, singing: |
| [00:39] | La la la la la la la… |
| [00:57] | King of mortar, kings of bricks |
| [01:01] | The river Styx was a river of stones |
| [01:06] | And Hades laid them high and thick |
| [01:11] | With a million hands that were not his own |
| [01:16] | And a million feet that fell in line |
| [01:21] | That stepped in time with Hades' step |
| [01:25] | And a million minds that were just one mind |
| [01:30] | Like stones in a row, |
| [01:32] | Stone by stone, |
| [01:35] | Row by row, |
| [01:37] | The river rose up, singing: |
| [01:40] | La la la la la la la… |
