| Album | Hadestown |
| [00:12.830] | Heavy and hard is the heart of the king |
| [00:17.770] | King of iron, king of steel |
| [00:22.800] | The heart of the king loves everything |
| [00:26.880] | Like the hammer loves the nail |
| [00:33.430] | But the heart of a man is a simple one |
| [00:38.320] | Small and soft, flesh and blood |
| [00:43.870] | And all that it loves is a woman |
| [00:49.800] | A woman is all that it loves |
| [00:53.840] | And Hades is king of the scythe and the sword |
| [00:59.540] | He covers the world in the color of rust |
| [01:05.090] | He scrapes the sky and scars the earth |
| [01:09.689] | And he comes down heavy and hard on us |
| [01:15.040] | But even that hardest of hearts unhardened |
| [01:20.810] | Suddenly, when he saw her there |
| [01:26.620] | Persephone in her mother’s garden |
| [01:30.870] | Sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair |
| [01:36.140] | The smell of the flowers she held in her hand |
| [01:41.360] | And the pollen that fell from her fingertips |
| [01:46.650] | And suddenly Hades was only a man |
| [01:53.080] | With a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing: |
| [01:57.420] | La la la la la la la… |
| [00:12.830] | Heavy and hard is the heart of the king |
