[Verse 1]
G#m F# Heavy and hard is the heart of a king G#m F# King of iron, king of steel G#m F# The heart of the king loves everything G#m F# C# like the hammer loves the nail B C# but the heart of a man is a simple one B C# small and soft, flesh and blood B C# and all that it loves is a woman B C# a woman is all that it loves B C# And Hades is king of the scythe and the sword B C# he covers the world in the colour of rust B C# he scrapes the sky and scars the earth B C# and he comes down heavy and hard on us B C# But even that hardest of hearts unhardened B C# suddenly when he saw her there B C# Persephone in her mother's garden B C# sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair B C# the smell of the flowers she held in her hand B C# and the pollen that fell from her fingertips B C# And suddenly Hades was only a man B C# with a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing
[Chorus]
B C# G#m La la la la la la la B C# D# La la la la la la la B C# G#m La la la la la la la B C# La la la la la la B C# G#m la la la la la la la B C# D# la la la la la la la D# Oh, singing B C# G#m La la la la la la la B C# La la la la la la B C# G#m la la la la la la la B C# D# la la la la la la la D# Oh, singing B C# G#m la la la la la la la B C# la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
G#m F# What has become of the heart of that man, G#m F# Now that the man is king G#m F# What has become of the heart of that man, G#m F# C# Now that he has everything B C# The more he has, the more he holds, B C# The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders B C# See how he labors beneath that load B C# Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go B C# And he keeps his head low, and he keeps his back bending B C# He grows so afraid that he'll lose what he owns B C# But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending B C# Is already gone B C# Where is the treasure inside your chest? B C# Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth? B C# Where is the man with his hat in his hands? B C# Who stands in the garden with nothing to lose, singing:
[Chorus]
B C# G#m La la la la la la la B C# D# La la la la la la la B C# G#m La la la la la la la B C# La la la la la la
